January 9, 2011 Mika is photogenic

Here are a few close up photos of Mika being a good dog.  She loves attention and getting petted.  She will sit upon command sometimes, but not always.  Often she will just follow me around and stand close leaning on my leg with when I stop.   She definitely has a rambunctious side however, and will run around after balls and toys.  Sometimes she just gallops around the yard just for the fun of it.  We try to keep her from doing this because of her bad leg, but the only way to stop her would be to always have her on a leash in the back yard where she is generally fairly calm, except for one of these energy bursts once every few days.
