More: Naya is the greatest outdoor companion I could have ever asked for. Her favorite activity is cross country skiing with me, closely followed by hikes. She loves to bury her face in the snow as soon as we get outside. She will dabble on the paddle board but prefers to splash and run in the water more than swim. Many people do not like all black or mostly black German Shepherds, but I think she is beautiful! I used to hesitate and need a pep talk before doing things outdoors alone, now I don’t think twice before loading up because I have the most amazing companion by my side every step (or stride) along the way. Ps. This is the Instagram pic but I do have the original file as well!
