Dara at 4.5 months old or so, is finding her voice.... Ouch! She is practising her warning bark. Her voice trembles up and down the octaves. It is quite funny to hear. She has only vocalized a few times, but then today when I was dropping her off for her 1/2 day boarding n training, a lady surprised her by coming out to the car ahead of us. She did her warning bark and three steps forward to meet the "threat". And then back to me for re-assurance - such a sweet lass
She came home exhausted even too tired to do her mid-day walk... first time ever.
She is now travelling very well in the car, as she has learnt to associate car travel with lots upon lots of fun things to do.
She is quite the jumper, she can leap from the floor up to my shoulder area, and btw she does this behind me (the scamp) as she knows I will correct a frontal jump quite quickly. I don't like it, but at least it is in the kitchen where the floor is very non-slip, but also hard surface
Dara is now about 21" tall and weighs 40+ lbs. She is still tracking for 26+ inches and at least 90lbs.
She had her second set of puppy shots with no adverse reactions. Full Blood Panel will be done at around 6mths, and shortly I will bring her in to do PennHip evaluation.
