Mmmmm Watermelon

Technically it is supposed to be spring but we just had a huge dump of heavy, wet snow. The cool temps didn’t seem to dampen Spirit’s enthusiasm for trying watermelon for the first time. At first she just tried licking it. She watched her big brother chomping on it and then she started inhaling it as fast as she could. It seems odd to be eating watermelon when there is snow on the ground. I managed to capture a bit of the action on video.

5 Months Old

Our little girl is 5 months old today. On the way home from a play date at the off-leash park we stopped at the Vet for a weigh in. I was shocked to discover that she was 54 lbs (see Grandma….no worries). I took a bunch of pictures of her and the rest of the kids so that you can see how much she has grown and how quickly she is catching up to Wally.

Wrestling with my big brother

Spirit loves to cuddle. Unfortunately she is so big and klutzy and she doesn’t recognize her own strength. She usually ends up hurting me when she is trying to give me lovin’.

Look out….here I come

Mmmm ears!!

Our first water adventure

Now that the ice jams are gone, I felt it was safe for Spirit to be introduced to the river at the dog park. The first time she followed a bunch of dogs in and came bounding out. The second time she ran in and hit a deep spot and her head went under the water (at 2:14). She was a bit surprised but recovered quickly. It took an extra 30 minutes of running around to get all the dirt, mud and excess water off her coat before I would let her back into the car.

4 Months Old

Our “little” girl is officially four months old today. She had her final set of shots on Friday and she was 40.5 lbs. Although she has grown quite a bit taller, her weight hasn’t changed in 2 weeks.

We have been puppy sitting a friend’s dog for the last week. They have been getting along famously. They wrestle all day at home and the two of them have spent many hours running at the off-leash park. I think I am going to miss her as much or even more than Spirit will. She not only kept our little girl busy and out of trouble but all that activity made for a very tired and sleepy puppy when they weren’t running around.

CPR Spirit Style

Yesterday we renewed our First Aid certification. We are very lucky that one of our SAR group members is a certified instructor. Dawn very graciously agreed to come to our house to teach the course so that we wouldn’t have to leave Spirit at home all day. Although it was a little bit of a challenge to do the course with 3 dogs helping, I think it may have added a little bit of spice to the class. Spirit was very interested in the AED, especially when it was talking.

Time for a break

Flirting with the instructor hoping to get Mom and Dad a good grade

Time out for a little butt scratching

Learning chest compressions

I am enjoying the course so much that I am smiling!

Practicing mouth to mouth

Our not so little girl is 3 months old today. Yikes time is flying by too fast!!!

12 Weeks Old

I am shocked at just how fast Spirit is growing. She looks like a dog…not a puppy. Her big furry coat makes her look huge but if you touch her there is just a little skinny body under all that fur.

This is a cute video showing Spirit’s first time going down the stairs and how much better she was the next day. Both Wally and Tilly got in on the action.
