My Baby Is Growing Up....

...Not sure if that is a good thing or not...the part where she is now letting me go back to sleep is AWESOME, but all her "cuteness" of puppy-dome is leaving....
she is now about 45 pounds...a lug when she sleeps on my chest....

  In the last week or so, she has been THE BEST girl! I never thought it was going to happen, but all of a sudden she turned a corner, and for almost 2 weeks now, she hasn't chewed on anything, or did any "puppy" things. And, like I said, is letting me go back to bed after she goes out in the morning! She plays by herself without getting into any trouble, (so far of course, I am not THAT naive!) it is almost weird. Like seeing your teenagers become responsible adults.
We really have to get on the regular training, but she is doing pretty good. I have to find a training class to take her to. I can do it, but it is different when they have to learn in a different environment.
  Today, we went for a bit of a walk on the lake, I had my snowshoes, and she was confused as to what to do, as no one was "ahead" of us, to run back and forth to. Normally, Bill is ahead of me, and she tears back and forth between us. Her funny thing is, no matter where we are, when we turn around to go home, she-Just goes home! Full speed, "I'm outta here!".  It will be interesting if she continues to do this.
   So, today, I took advantage, and kept calling her back, so I could get pictures, since that was how the lighting was.

Silly girl...

On Facebook, as some of you know, I mentioned that for my "late" New Years Resolution, I was going to start doing the things I forgot I love to do. One of them is get out and take more pictures. Sometimes I feel like there is just nothing to shoot, but I know we can all find SOMETHING, even if it is something we might not be interested in. That is usually when we get the surprises. Anyway, for those who don't know, the other things were Snowshoeing, Skiing, biking, hiking, and the like. It won't happen all the time, since I hate the heat, and I HATE the bugs, but, I am going to try to do it a lot more then I have been. And, we got rid of the Direct TV, so maybe I will blog more too....
