Zeldie is a big girl!


Zeldie slept all through the night until 6am! We both felt like we really slept in. We have decided it is time for her to start learning to play in her crate while she is awake so we played for a little bit outside and then I put her in her crate for some awake play time. I put her in her crate and then I sat down by it so that she could see me. She played for a bout 10 minutes and then fell asleep! I guess she missed the point of the awake play time. We will have to try it again another time.

Last night she saw her shadow on a walk and she growled at it. She was so fierce. We stopped and really stared down the shadow puppy. Then, she slowly moved on and when we moved out of the light of the street lamp and the other puppy disappeared and she was so confused. She just swung her head from side to side not knowing where that puppy went. When she walks, and she gets a really good trot going, her ears bounce up and down and it just cracks me up to death. When she is setting a really good pace, she actually looks like she is prancing and she looks kind of prissy. At one point she saw a bird and she straightened up as tall as she could and I noticed that she looked a little taller. Then I looked at her belly and I think it looked a little fuller. I thought to myself, she's growing! Quick, get the camera before she gets any bigger! Although many people have commented on the size of her paws and how big she is so I have included a picture here which shows perspective for you so you can see that she actually is quite small right now.

I came home from work yesterday and David said, "You know how else Zeldie is like you...." I thought 'Oh no, this can't be good!' "She goes, goes, goes until she drops from exhaustion." I don't think the vet has to worry about us loving this dog if we already think she is taking after us.
