MMMM that camera looks tasty!

In this first one do not be fooled her thoughts are: "mmm camera looks tasty...."

She's looking up at me who was holding one of her favorite toys!

"Sheeesh ANOTHER pictures - you humans are weird!"

More to come, these are pretty dull. I got some better ones, but waiting on the SO to upload them for me! She's 15 weeks now, in these she's about 13 weeks and in those two short weeks she looks different already. She's starting to get a bit leggy, and she's filling out some. She's not uber skinny anymore! Her ears are a bit more fluffy now too, and we both LOVE the goofy ears she has right now. Her tail is also longer, and we estimate another 3 months before it becomes a serious lethal weapon - she's also JUST started chasing her tail for some reason. I didn't think she would start now considering it's never interested her before! Right now, she's currently clonked out after a good romp outside, in which her owners got eaten alive by mosquitoes, but it was worth it to see her run and romp with a big old grin on her face!

She knows it! She really is growing so fast; I gotta go prod the SO to upload the others for me. I can't remember how to do it (and well too lazy to figure it out)! She's growing far too fast. I tell her to slow down, but she just kisses my nose :) I really need to get a good one of her fuzzy ears! We had the trainer here the other day and a direct quote "oh gosh I am so sorry but I cannot get over those ears!" We do giggle at them, which makes Ari's whole butt wiggle because she likes it when we are amused or happy by her!

I don't know how you get anything done with her cuteness around!
I can't wait to see more of her!

Oh, God, she's adorable. How big do you think she's going to be?

I'm glad you posted pictures of her, I always like reading your posts about your life with her.

Wow, thank goodness you posted those pictures of her. Based on your descriptions of her, I imagined her with small horns growing out of her head Wink . She's a totally sweetie pie and I can see why she's captured your heart.

BlackLabbie - sometimes it is REALLY hard to not want to just spend every single moment with her! But since she's not up with washing the dishes or vacuuming, I guess it falls on me and the SO to do it hehe. Although the vacuum cleaner she is convinced is an overgrown loud weird looking puppy - least she's not afraid of it I suppose!

Willowchow - judging by the females in her lines we're thinking she's going to be around 55, maybe 60 lbs full grown (standards for flat coats I believe are 55-75 lbs, but I may not be remembering correctly. I can't recall off hand how big her father is, but he was not at the high end for flat coats in terms of weight. Both her Mother and grandmother were right around 55 lbs at top form.

I'll post more photos as soon as I can, I just can't recall how to upload and edit photos on my SO's computer since he runs Linux. Funny I work for an IT company but I'm not that computer saavy!

I missed taking her into work today, I had an appt. right after work so she got left at home with my SO coming home for his lunch break. My day goes by MUCH faster when she's at work with me, and she keeps me calm - believe it or not the once source of great frustration for me, is now my reminder each day to breath and stay calm and let things ride out - b/c if I don't she feeds right off my emotions and it's NOT a pretty site when she picks up on my high anxiety!

She hides the horns for the camera lol. She really is doing a lot better, especially now where we are ignoring the vets and breeders advice and walking her in the forest path near our house, and as often as we can letting her zoom around the beach area nearby. We let her go at her own speed and just let her wear herself out!

She's still a little devil, but she has my heart no doubt about that!

She's adorable! I've been hoping that we would get to see pictures of her, and it was definitely worth the wait! She's too cute, and I can't wait until her next set of pictures.

AAHH, there she is! I love love love her ears and sweet balck nose. What a sweet face.

I retract any advice I've ever given and suggest you allow her to do whatever she wants from now on, she is obviously a princess and deserves to never hear the word NO, LOL!

I really cant get over her fluffly ears, LOL!

HAHAHA! Oh Ari WOULD love this advice Aurora! I'm trying to get a good one of her ears, they are even FLUFFIER now! She's starting to look so silly between the ears and rapidly growing legs.
