BARK!!

Ok we finally got some sounds out of Winnie and got a video. If you want to hear her whine, moan, yawn, and bark here it is! This is of course for those of you who haven't gotten to see it first hand just yet :)

Winnie Update

Winnie has developed a new way to run. She gallops now! Which is really funny to watch. She kind of picks up her front legs and then puts her back legs where her front legs were. It is a cross between running and jumping. You can see her play with David and run a little here.

Winnie and Baxter

Jason and Baxter came over for dinner last night. Eventhough Winnie and Baxter didn't play that much you can see them together here. Winnie was trying to get Baxter to play but he just sat on Jason on hid from her as much as possible. They did play a little in the yard.

Memorial Day

Here is another update. We had a BBQ at the Blanchards today, with EVERYONE!!! And more people than we knew. Here are a few pictures of the kids, the two legged and four legged ones.

Here is a link to the Picasa pictures:

Sleepover

Lauryn and Maddie had a sleep over Saturday night when Lauryn got to town. Here are a few pictures. It is great to have both of them together, they wear each other out and Maddie LOVES Lauryn so much! She wants to be just like her.

Here are a few pictures.

Weekend update

Saturday was a good day, a LONG day, but a good one. David worked and I went to Dallas for the day for Holli's Baby Shower. Winnie went to play with Baxter and then back to David after he got off work. So not a very eventful day, but a full day!

Sunday we went to the vet again, for more shots and a check up. Winnie's weight is up to 31.6 pounds!!! yeah!!! That is a full 6 pounds up from last week, and the vet even said she looked healthy. You can feel her ribs now but they aren't as easily noticed. Guess the new food or standing there while she eats is helping. Not sure which is better, but she is growing like a weed so something must be working!

Sunday night we hung out with the neighbors and the dogs played in the back yard. They were both worn out, it was great.

Here is a link to some pictures from this weekend.

Don't forget to check back this weekend, Lauryn will be here so we should have a TON of new pictures.

Winnie in the water

Watch Winnie play in the sprinklers in our back yard. It is really sunny so it might be hard to see but she jumps and follows the sprinklers and it made me laugh so hard I just had to share!

Play date for Winnie and Lily

Tonight started off uneventful, I had to cut the grass in the front yard, cuz David was still at work. After the front yard was done, Winnie had a play date next door and the neighbors fed me dinner! Thanks guys :) Here are some new pics of the puppies playing together. Check out the slideshow.

I am still learning how to use the camera and the new lens so I apologize if some of them are not so great.

I took a few new pictures this morning before I went to work with my new lens. Here is a link to the picasa album.

Winnie updatehttp://picasaweb.google.com/kim.gossett/Winnie2#slideshow/5334004677573165650

Today Winnie went to the Vet. As it turns out she is not eating enough, and has only gained 2.5 pounds in two weeks!!!! So we are in the process of switching her food so hopefully she will be more interested and will gain 5 pounds in the next week. Here are some more recent pictures of our little girl Winnie. If you want a point of reference her head comes up to my knees now!

Back Yard

Here is another video of Winnie in our back yard, playing and running. I was trying to trow the ball for her.

Friends

Winnie and Lily, the Golden Lab from next door, played together today. Here is a video of the action. They were both worn out after all the fun, all I can say is AWESOME!!

JUMP!

Winnie was jumping tonight while playing with David, do you think she has springs for feet? I do sometimes :)

To cute to pass up!

Ok so here is another video and this was just to cute to pass up. Here is Winnie and David playing.

For Karen

So Karen (my sister) wanted to see how funny Winnie looks when she runs. This is a little grainy, but at least you can see how funny she looks!

Winnie found her VOICE!!!

Yesterday we went to visit Jason and Liz and introduct their dog Baxter (see previous pictures) to Winnie. Well, well, little miss priss found her BARK!!

I don't think David believed me that she had ever barked until he heard it for himself last night.

It was sooooo funny to watch the dogs "play". At first Baxter didn't know what to do, he is so small, and doesn't really have any dog friends. Winnie was good and laid down so she was on his level. But he still wasn't sure about the big huge dog (ha ha on my part since she will be SOOOO much bigger soon.)

Anyway we took them outside and they finally started to play. Winnie was chassing him around the back yard, she was barely running and he was running at full speed!! It was so cute.

When he stopped playing with her, she went right up to him and barked! It shocked everyone, but it was great to hear her bark.

Now that she knows she can do it, she did it this morning again. She barked at a bowl! She found a bowl on the floor and accidentally flipped it over, then when she couldn't figure it out she barked a lot. Guess we might have created a monster!

Keep checking for updates.

Winnie has arrived!!

We got our little girl home finally. She has been worn out a bit today, probably from all the fun and the changes. She is great, and hasn't really barked yet, just moans a lot.

She slept almost the whole way home, which was surprising. Let's see how she sleeps tonight!

Here are some pictures on picasa. I'll post more as she grows, so every few days probably!

We can't wait for her to meet everyone :)
