August 28, 2007 - Well, everyday Maleah gets more active and full of personality. At this point she has no fear and is living life to it’s fullest! She has a very healthy appetite, she’s got an entire body full of hair, she’s playing until her little heart’s content, and she’s even flirted with a few of the male dogs. She has a grin on her face almost always, and those pretty eyes are full of excitement and happiness. She trots around, prancing rather, and her feet actually look big!
She’s such a doll - you can’t help but just hug her all of the time. She loves her kennel/crate and I often walk into the room and find her sprawled out inside, snoozing after a hard days play. She loves nylabones and stuffed toys, and when she’s very excited and playful she’ll gallop around the house full circle, tail wagging and her feet flopping on the groud with absolutely no grace. I love watching her! She’ll run outside, as well, as hard as she can, chasing the other dogs or being chased. She can actually move pretty fast, too! Then we, of course, have the bark that comes out, for she has to let the cars know she’s a Great Pyrenees!
I looked back at her pictures and was amazed to see her the way she was when she first came to me…even though I saw her w/my own eyes, touched her naked skin, bathed her, hugged her, medicated her…it still seems a bit surreal. I’m so glad that I couldn’t resist those eyes…she’s so worth it!
August 18-2002 - Well, Miss Maleah has certainly opened up and become a typical, funny, playful dog. She is constantly making me laugh…as well as repeat myself. She tends to think she doesn’t have to listen. ;-) I can just see her mind spinning…”I’m Maleah…I don’t have to!” She always adds this sassy little smile, so she’ll make sure to look cute when she’s misbehaving. I told her the other day that she is rotten…she looked at me with the “I know!” look and pranced into the other direction.
She has so much fun with the other animals. She ruuuuuuns around the yard, pretending she’s the before mentioned 200lbs. She barks at cars and birds now without running back upon the deck for reassurance. She has a few best friends, like Abby, Bogey, and Ellie Mae. I’ll find them playing, Maleah dancing around and hopping…she has the funniest hop. She, of course, has no coordination, but she has the best time doing it!
She’s enjoyed her outings and makes a point to love on everyone. She looks sooooo good with her entire body covered in hair. She’s not gained any weight, but noone is eating as they normally do with the heat being so extreme. Even in the air conditioning we all just want to be lazy! Her coat is soft, however, and I’m constantly petting her, amazed at how silky it feels. Let’s hear it for Pyr determination and quality food and supplements!
She’s a charmer, that’s for sure. She grins almost 24/7. I truly feel blessed to have her in my life.
Let me just tell you that frail, tiny little Miss Maleah has an ENORMOUS bark! She sounds like a Pyrenees! :-D She sounds like she’s 200lbs! Then she grins at you and acts like she’s a lap dog. She’s so funny!
August 4, 2007 - Miss Maleah…she is SO funny!! She is now completely full of herself! I have new pictures up, and you’ll see her big smile and her silly self up on the counter helping herself to some Captain Crunch! It was hysterical - it’s like she knew exactly what it was, and after spotting it, she darted toward it and promptly stuck her front paws on the counter. I, being the strict mother that I am, said “Maleah, no - you do not get on the counter!” and grabbed the camera before I made her get down. 
Her hair is growing and she’s looking great. Her eye seems to be improving, as well. I’ll get it checked out again, and hopefully all will be solved. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s better. She loves the new Pyrenees and wants to play with her…she wants to play with everyone! But with the new girl…she’s sick, as well, and it’s almost like Maleah is reassuring her.
She is so very, very playful and has a big smile on her face all the time. She is quite the prancer, too, as she dances around the house, even runs and plays with the other dogs. She has this funny little thing where she’ll bark for me, and then when I come to her and “ask what she wants”… she does this hop-skip and tears off around the house! She comes back just-a-grinning! 
I love seeing her like this…knowing she’s loved and enjoying the sunshine, the backyard, the hugs, kisses, food, other dogs, toys, etc…she’s alert, vibrant, joyful, and excited about each day. It’s so great to know she’s happy and loving life…she’s a strong little girl.
