Holy Crap

My dog is huge. She is only 4 and a half months old and she now weighs SIXTY POUNDS! We measure her once a month and in one month she grew at least 5 inches in height! But she's still adorably clumsy, as all puppies should be. Here are a couple of new pictures:




Jay has now taught her to sit and stay on command, which she does (most of the time) and we are THRILLED that she has learned something!


She is very cuddly, which I love, but sometimes she gets random spurts of energy and she'll sprint lighting-fast laps around our tv room - it's a riot!


She has recently discovered a love of running outside (she used to hate it - too much snow and cold) so we take her out whenever we can. Our giant puppy has also met a new little neighbor friend, a dog about a third her size, and it's funny to see them run around and play. Caly still hasn't figured out how big she is, so the little dog gets trampled a bit when they're running around. They both seem pretty happy, though, so we just let them be.


All in all, this dog is pretty much the best gift I've ever gotten and for the most part (she still has her naughty puppy moments) she is a ton of fun to have around!

That's a fantastic offer! I will probably take you up on that at some point. Caly is pretty good, you'd have fun. She's so sweet. Come visit her any time you like! I think Mike has my #.
