Our not-so-tiny pup is one year old today! She is just over 60 lbs and a ball of energy. Since her life is so well documented (thank you, Instagram), I thought I'd share some pictures of the past ten months.
Get ready for an overload of cuteness. You may want to make sure you're in a location where it's socially acceptable to burst into fits of, "Aww!!" every five seconds.

 |
| First time we met her - at four weeks old! |
 |
| Dawwwwwwwwww - I warned you! |
Ty was unable to go with me to pick her up at eight weeks (after the litter was FINALLY declared worm-free!), so my good friend, Sia, stepped in.
 |
| It's hard to walk with those long legs |
 |
| She's about to fall forward, really. |
 |
| First night home, and a little scared |
 |
| Her ears are still this silky |

I love how she's looking right at me! This is always a good sign in training

Did I ever mention, Blogworld, that Ty and I took a road trip to TX? We took our two-door civic and tossed a whole lotta stuff and a four-month-old pup in the backseat. And we drove. To Dallas, to Commerce, to Houston, and home.

| Not for Ty! This is one of my favorite pictures, taken on the bay in Houston. It almost made the Christmas card. |

Her silky ears, her crooked grin, her powerful jaws and legs . . . it feels like she has always been with us! I KNEW she would destroy that toy the minute you sent me the photo. I bet she loved doing it!
ReplyDeleteOhmygoodness..... these photos are fabulous! She is so full of Joy! I must agree with your two choices for "almost made the Christmas card" - the one en route to Tali Rose's dinner... still giggling! Love her Halloween photo, too. She's quite a character! The second puppy photo totally melted my heart!!! {A special tidbit for me - Brooklyn and I are Birthday sisters!!!! I'm quite a bit older, though.... :-D } XXOO
