DOB: March 21, 2002

"I got my spike from my mom."

Shamu, 7 weeks

"They should have called me, Holly Holstein."

Daughter of Izzy Bee.  The birth of Shamu was very exciting to say the least!  We delivered her in the back seat of our car on the way to the vet office.  Then, to our surprise, out pops our very first Landseer!  We toyed with naming her "Holly Holstein" because she looks like a milk cow, but settled on Shamu.  She is a handful!  Shamu believes all the "dog rules" are for everyone except her.

If I had a saddle, I think I could ride this "cow."

Shamu has never received enough attention to suit herself, and to my knowledge probably never will.  She constantly demands more and more.  Shamu has retired from motherhood, but will remain here as part of the family.  We love her far too much, to part with her.
