Pupdate
This was our first day together. |
She is asleep in this picture. |
She passed her AKC Puppy STAR test last month. I even sent away for the silly little medal.
As she's getting bigger (more than 40 pounds of dog now!) we have had some issues. She is a counter-surfer, and will grab anything and everything off of the counters. She's still getting into everything and loves to chew. I lost my first pair of shoes to her just last week. She's stubborn and willful, so she needs a special restrictive harness for when we go for walks. She also hates getting wet, so baths are out of the question, no matter how muddy we get at the dog park.
But she's a great dog. Smart and funny and already fiercely loyal. She gets this little sneer on her face when she thinks you're being stupid, so I know that we're meant to be buddies. It's hard to imagine that she could be my dog until I'm in my 30s, but I'm looking forward to every moment.
