A fun comparison!! 4 Month difference..

THREE MONTHS OLD --

SEVEN MONTHS OLD --

7 Months Old!!

Hello! Me again. My person has been properly scolded for not updating on my progress. First things first -- me and my little people on Halloween!

So where to begin.. I graduated puppy class with flying colors and I signed up for my novice class that starts in January. I really enjoyed playing with the other puppies even if they were not the best wrestling partners.. I kept losing them somehow? Guess I should find some bigger friends. Anyways.. so I am seven months old now. I am not sure how much I weigh..my person says she will take me in soon to find out. I am certainly growing a ton every day!! My person thinks I'm funny because I purr when I am happy.. well, I say purr..she says snort like a pig. How rude. I am pretty proud of myself too because I am officially the loudest snorer in the house! YAY! My people had to lay towels in front of my water bowl because my little people kept slipping in my slobber trails.. I don't really like to drink using my tongue, I just put my whole face in the water - -much more fun that way!! I eat a little less than nine cups a day (breakfast lunch and dinner) and LOVE my food! I am already learning the joins of counter surfing (when my people arent watching of course!!) I stand approx. 26 inches at the shoulders . I guess thats big? I don't bark much and I LOVE to play outside with basketballs and soccer balls. I can now sit stay or down stay for more than 5 minutes at a time -- aren't I a good boy!! Oh and I LOVE to flop into my persons lap when she is on the floor and snoooooore away. I'm just a great big dorky love bug. And my eyes still cross sometimes -- whats up with that? But my people think its cute so I guess it's okay. You know..I am sooo talented I even smile for the camera!! -->

More updates after I see the vet for a weight check. My person bought a folding metal ramp so I can climb up and down it to get in and out of her van...SO NICE! I love riding in the car and meeting new people. Oh!! I got to visit my little girl's school and meet all her classmates. I was so well behaved the teacher invited me to come back any time AND to stay all day with the kids!!! How cool is that?! I have decided that I would really like to do therapy work with kids some day. I LOVE kids!! We will see!!

Until next time...

Update!

Ok.. so as of October 5th I weigh 110 pounds. I have also decided that being shy and insecure is for the birds and I have really come out of my shell. I LOVE new people and places!! I am a bit nervous about tomorrow, it is my big graduation day from puppy kindergarten!! Then I move on to the big dog class. I am a very happy, healthy.. slobbery...snoring.. puppy. Life is great!

6 MTHS OLD

Hello!! I'm six months old!! And BIG! How big? Dunno.. my people haven't weighed me.. but I am much bigger than my sister now which you can see... I like to sleep in some funny positions..
Here is my front paw.. and what you can't see is that it is laying on my persons hand. I guess I have big feet.
I am doing AWESOME in my puppy classes! I am even getting more confident and will enter the tunnel and chute all by myself!! It is a lot of fun and my person thinks I am a big joker. She even has to bring a drool rag to class or I make the floors slippery and people slide around. Until next time!!

Pictures!! Almost 6 months old!

Look, pictures of me from today.. and I didn't even have to bite her!! :)


How about a fun comparison shot?? This is me and my sister today..

And this one was taken on 5/30/08.. about 3 and a half months ago. I'd say I have grown a wee bit.

PUPPY SCHOOL!

I mean really, I have grown so much and she doesn't have a single picture to share!! I'll get on that tomorrow, I'll bite her if I have to.
So an update on me.. I found out why my stools were mooshy!! It wasn't worms or infection (thanks goodness!). My person switched me from California Natural to Nutro Ultra and what do you know.. I'm all better!! Weird eh? Nutro really agrees with me (and my poo really agrees with my person now that it is solid).
Oh!! Exciting news!! I started Kindergarten yesterday!! I really enjoyed class and playing with all the other puppies.. I haven't figured out why everyone else is soo tiny, guess they should try eating more kibble -- it worked for me!! My best buddy is a boxer puppy. Oh, and I am SO good at the sit-stay that while everyone else learns that my person is working on me getting off my bottom and coming to her.. I don't see why sitting there the whole time is a problem.. I mean really, what do you expect me to do?? EXERCISE?? Pfft.
Seriously though, I am doing fantastic! I learn real quick and will do just about anything for a tiny bit of cheese. Mmm.. the slingers are forming just thinking about that cheese!
Anyways, I'm going to go snore now.. I will get some new pics up here soon.. I'm just so handsome I need to share my mug with the world!!
