Growing up!

Just in case you have forgotten what the boy looks like

here is a lovely picture of him.

Today was "hair cut"day,and as the grass is full of burrs

I asked for Midnight's legs to be clipped short .

What a surprise I got when I saw him!

His legs are like skinny chopsticks, 

with huge paws  

at the end.

Look --

He  really is going to be very big 

 when  he reaches his full size.

Now he looks so skinny but he actually weights

21.5 kgs.

His beautiful head is getting larger each day

and his nose can reach further into my bags!.

His favourite trick at present

is to come up behind my chair and push his head 

between my arm and the chair for a scratch.

Look at that face, those eyes 

and that big long nose.

I love him so much, 

he is bringing such joy into my life.

There is nothing more relaxing than going for a run

with your own dog,

that is, until you see a strange dog that wants to play!

This is all Midnight has been doing 

since he arrived home [apart from eating a bit of dinner].

Jess was trying to take pictures for our Christmas cards,

even the reindeer ears didn't wake him up.

Tomorrow we are going to the farmers market, 

I hope all this sleep doesn't make him too energetic, 

I want people to see him at his very best.

Until next time --- hug a puppy every day!!!
