I'm getting older now. I'm already 8 years old! Shasta is 3 now. She's really protective. My dad doesn't really like it when she barks, but she's just guarding us. She loves us very much, and I love her too. In fact, so loves my whole family! She's so cute and sweet to us. We do the same in return. I love her so much! I never want this to end!
