Thank you!
I bit over a year and a half. Still thinks she is a pup!

Mine thought she was a pup up until age 11... Then she finally started slowing down.

If it takes that long i am going to have some awesome muscles on my right arm from throwing stuff for her!

You might want to use your left arm some then Cap! If you throw left like I do, I suggest you wait until the dog is pretty tired. Otherwise she'll have to run toward you to fetch the objects.

I do tend to use both arms with tools, that is to say i alternate . But not with throwing generally. Santa is supposed to bring a nerf gun that shoots out tennis balls.

Hi Debby! No snow except what we got on Monday thank goodness!
I think you should put up your tree. Mine have only broken 3 bulbs which of course were new this yearI was looking back at pictures of them, we got Opie a year ago tomorrow. They did not bother the tree nearly as bad last year. The bottom picture was taken today.

Awwwwww so cute!!!

The Garden is your sanctuary!

Enjoy it as much as possible.

I am baking Blue Berry Buttermilk Banana bread and roasting coffee beans. The first batch is for espresso and the second batch is for brewed coffee

Sounds delicious!

So we made it back from picking up Gabbie about 2:30pm....just in time for tending to all the other animals, spend a little time letting Gabbie getting aquainted with the backyard and then final round lockups. Here Gabbie is after we got her and she settled down a bit...View attachment 1205597 ....this is one taken a half mile from the house....View attachment 1205602 ...this one is in her area getting a bite of food and water....View attachment 1205604 ...then here she is playing in the leaves as she ventures around the yard...View attachment 1205605

Awwwww she is so cute!!!

My Shepherd is going nuts in the snow! She loves it. Much harder to play fetch and hubby did not play frisbee with her today. They did go for a walk though.
Glad she is home! Hope she sleeps for you tonight. What a cutie!

Gator loves snow but earlier he wanted to come right back in lol

Then tonight it turned to rain

She will be 9wks old on Monday...

So slightly older

Beautiful!

Thank you!

A lot of dogs are like that! Labs and goldens but especially Labs often think they are puppies until 3 or sometimes even 5+ years. But with Labs i think it's mostly their lovable goofy nature, with the shepherds I imagine maybe it's simply energy level.

But most dogs don't really fully mature/grow up and calm down until 2 or 3 years old.

Wow that is a long time!

Our old Lab we used to have to throw the ball for hours

Wait what's the difference between hands?

That would be awesome!
