Me and my Shadow

Shadow loves having his photo taken.

SHADOW the 12-month-old Labradoodle from Pakenham is a mischievous puppy who loves to make his way around town.
Owner Catherine Darcy said Shadow and his best friend Lulu, a miniature clone of the pup, love walking around Lakeside Lake together.
But his social outings with Lulu aren’t a standalone.
The social pooch catches up weekly with several other pups as part of a local obedience group.
“He also really looks forward to hanging out with his friends at Beyond Obedience in Pakenham every week. He’s really smart and loves to learn new things,” she said.
Catherine and the cheeky pup love to spend their time goofing around.
“Shadow thinks it’s funny when I try to dress him up and his dad tells me off. He also loves getting baths and looking really pretty then getting dirty straight away,” she said.
The thrill-seeking pup is always up for an adventure, but wishes there was more free terrain for him to play.
“He likes to go on lots of adventures and for big walks. He loves playing fetch and then eating the ball afterwards. It would be so cool if there was a big fenced off park for the dogs somewhere in Pakenham where they could play BIG games of fetch!”
The loving pup was a special part of Catherine and her husband Jacob’s wedding day in September this year.
