Winnie Update

Winnie is 6 months old today! We can hardly believe it. The time has gone so fast, and yes I can hear all of you out there who aren't "dog people" thinking I am crazy, but time really has flown.

She moved in with us about 2 or 3 months ago when she was probably 20 or 30 pounds. Now at 6 months she is almost full grown and weighs about 80 pounds. David measured her a week ago and he said she will probably still grow about 7 inches at her sholder.

She has changed our lives so much, or at least mine. One thing she and I do together everyday is see the sun rise! Can you believe it? We take our morning walk before I go to work, and lately we have gotten to see the sunrise. A few days ago it was beautiful pink and yellow, and believe it or not I wasn't even upset to be awake so early!! Of course her naps are nice also! She still takes several on the weekends.

Another great thing about Winnie is she is helping me jog. This weekend we started walking / jogging together. We are on day 3 today. Each day it gets a little easier, but of course at first my legs feel like lead. I don't think she ever feels that way. She takes off so fast, and runs full speed ahead!!

Keep checking back, we'll post some new pictures soon, maybe even some play date pictures with Lilly.

Everyone think wonderful thoughts about our amazing, and huge, puppy and wish her a happy half birthday!
