Gabbi at 18 weeks

I took these pics this morning. This little white dog is our 12 yr old Maltese, Jacob. He was my "empty nest" puppy. We have to keep them seperated because Jacob wants to fight Gabbi, and Gabbi wants to play. She plays a little rough for his liking. Hopefully some day they will be friends!

Look how light she is getting. And those ears! They are so strong! She's a sweet girl, wants to greet everyone. Thinks everyone should want to meet her! She likes to drag her pad out of her crate and lie on it outside the crate on the kitchen floor. I guess I don't blame her :).

Thanks for lookin' at our little (I use that term loosely) girl.

Hugs.

Gabbi is 4 months (17 weeks 1 day)

This is our "little girl" todayl Look at those ears! My hubby says she's a rabbit! Both ears are strong and straight now, no more lopping over. I love it when they cock their heads to the side when you talk to them. She still wants to bite, but not as bad. Now we are teaching "Off" when she jumps up on us. She loves to greet the kids in the neighborhood... and they love to see her! But she's a bit exuberant yet. We sure don't want her hurting anyone! She's been to the beach twice now, and loves it... loves to run around. Need to take her to the dog park to run around and socilize with other pups.

Her coloring gets lighter every day. Think she's going to have a really pretty "saddle" soon.

Thanks for your interest and for lookin'! She's a sweetie.

Gabbi at 15 weeks

This is Gabbi today, at 15 weeks. Last week, at 14 weeks, she weighed 25 lbs. She seems to gain 2 1/2 lbs a week! She's getting at that gangly stage, where she's all legs, a bit clumsy. Her left ear is standing up nice and straight, but the right ear is lagging behind just a bit. It still flops toward the center. I expect it to strengthen more this week. Her head is getting more red in it. It's fun to see how her color changes. I can really tell when I brush her, I can see the colors underlying the black. I think she's going to be a very pretty dog.

Thanks for lookin'! She's a sweetie (when she's not trying to eat our hands!).

Our new puppy

These two pictures were taken just a few minutes ago. This is Gabbi, our 13 week old GSD: German Shepherd Dog. She is quite a character. She gained 4 1/2 lbs between 8 and 10 weeks, and 10 lbs between 8 and 12 weeks! She's going to be a big girl!

These are pics of her right after we got her. She was 7 weeks, 2 days when we brought her home. She's changed a little, hasn't she! I'll be glad when she's pas the biting stage! I just had to put a bandaid on my arm where she got me! She doesn't mean to hurt, she just is playing. She's very smart, of course! But GSD's are as a breed. Look at those feet!

This is for you, Sue! Thanks a bunch for lookin'!
