We're a little over Kelsey's half birthday (as they call it in Jacob's preschool). In honor of her 6 month birthday, Kelsey was spayed. As cool as it would be for Jacob's dog to have puppies, Jacob's mom - she doesn't want to deal with that whole mess - and then trying to find homes for all those puppies!?! With the spaying, she is also officially licensed. Kelsey is weighing in at about 50 lbs. Her back is about to my knees. She's looks a lot like her momma. We're working on walking - I can't walk her without using the Gentle Leader - she PULLS too much! This head collar doesn't stop her from barking, it's not a muzzle, it just makes it difficult for her to pull. She's learning fetch, and give - but she'll only give me the things that she doesn't really want. She tries to hide and chew her other treasures.
And the cat...that poor cat! But, I do love when I holler at Kelsey for chasing the cat and I walk into the kitchen where she's sitting so innocently pretty, as if to say "What Mom, I'm being a good girl?" with a HUGE tuft of orange cat hair in her jowels. Reminds me of Tweety and Sylvester! "Bird? pbblfft (as he's blowing out the yellow feathers) What Bird?"
We had our first snow yesterday, Jacob and Kelsey had so much fun outside. Kelsey kept wanting in and then back out. She was running, jumping and eating snow! She'll about tackle you for a snowball! And she'll bite at your hands until you toss the one you're holding. I spent a lot of the time watching the snowflakes land on her back. Looking at each different one. Her brown fur was a perfect background. Sorry - no snow pictures, not a one turned out. I can't wait for more snow!
Kelsey reminds me so. much. of Sammy...oh, about 7 years ago. Whoa. I can't believe Sammy's 7 years old! We couldn't walk Sammers without a gentle leader when she was that young, either, because of the pulling. Ah...Kelsey's such a pretty dog! (BTW...a pink collar...I laughed at that below...you HAVE changed!--it's good, though.)
