8 - 10 weeks old. Photo gallery

Even though we have Leah around all the time, it never stop amaze me to see how much she grow on a daily basis.
We had her on the weight again today - 9,7 kg

Leah loves cuddles and if given a chance, she'll  help you no matter what you're doing, from vacuuming til gift wrapping :o)

Leah have a full galery when it comes to places to sleep, and how to sleep. Our girl sure know how to relaxe and take her nap time seriously.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rocket fuel

Well - it's 12:30 am and Leah have a rocket up her butt and no sign of the fuel tank going on empty anytime soon.....
It has been a rather interesting day. She is defenitly a night owl, so I had to wait for her Royal Highness to wake up enough to be ready for a walk this morning. We got a nice long walk seing new places. Only downside was meeting the 2 dogs that for some reason scare Leah - and we haven't even been close to them yet.

Back home, I thought she would be ready for a long nap while I was doing grocery shopping. My dad was here, so I left Leah with him.
I came back to a house that she had turned up side down in a very short time and my dad was exhausted. Not only have she figured out how to get all the way up on the coffee table, she broke a coffee cup on her way to my knitting project that then got a huge setback....It took a while to locate all the missing knitting needles.

And this evening we found another thing that apparently was at some interest earlier today when she roamed the house.... an apple !

She re-found it under the shoerack and it didn't take long before she decided it was the perfect late evening snack. So now I can say that the fruitbasket I won in the raffle at the dogclub meeting on Monday have been shared equally among us all :o)

Being on my own.....

We have the "I wanna out" nearly figured out, Leah even use the bell we have hanging from the door handle if she need to go out to pee. We still have a few accidents - but's it not Leah's fault, but simply us humans that are too stupid and ignorant to listen to what she is telling us.

My dad looked after Leah for a couple of hours Monday while i attended the Christmas meeting at the local boxer club, where I learned about stretching and massage as a tool to keep your dog healthy and happy :o) I learned a lot and the speaker was great at explaining things.

We came home that evening to find a pooped out dad and a puppy with a rocket up her butt - lot of fuel left over to do more mischief. It seems like when she have these energy burst', she tend to take it way more slow the next few days... great for me, but I'm feeling rather sorry for my dad that had to endure this.

This week Leah have spend some (to her knowledge) unsuperviced time in the garden. She did her business, played a bit with a stick and then felt it was time to go sit patiently waiting for me to open the door to let her in. And today she have spend some time alone in the car while we ran some errands - again, she didn't know I was keeping an eye on her for a while... First she had a lot of fun looking at people passing by, then it was time to play a bit with the roll of poop bags. When the roll couldn't roll any longer, she figured it was time for a nap, snuggled up in her blanket. I'm so proud of her. I at least expected some whining, but nothing at all.

Leah have learned it's so much fun helping us wrap the Christmas gifts - OK, in her case it's unwrapping. That earned her a few minutes in her crate. She is starting to figure out that she won't be let out if she whine, since I go sweet talk her until she shut up. The minute she shut up, I open the door and tell her what a great girl she is. So far it's only a few minutes at a time, but as she start to relaxe a bit more about the subject of a closed cratedoor, I'll increase the time a little bit.

It's actually a bit odd. Leah can sleep in her crate for hours. But - and there is a huge But....
The second we close the door, she'll try to dig her way out of it. There is simply something with closed doors and Leah. Even the door to the birds aviary, or the door down to the basement...

Talking about the basement. Now we do need to have the door closed because today our cutiepie figured out how to whine her way down the stairs becaus I was doing laundry. I didn't realize she was actually coming down until the moment she stood behind me - all I had heard was her sitting on the top of the stair, whining because she didn't liked the idea of me leaving her behind. So yes - she litterally whined her way down the stair one step at a time.

9 weeks old

Everytime Leah wakes up from a nap, it's like she have taken another leap when it comes to growing :o)According to the scale she is now 8.1 kg.

Today we had our first walk in the rain - no biggie according to Leah, other than it was so much fun trying to see just how much water she could "drink" while walking down the street, even though I kept reminding her that she had a perfectly OK waterdish at home with nice and fresh water.

2 weeks with Leah and we have learned that first, second and last of everything, she is a happy girl. She is taking every oportunity to see if she can manage to switch every situation into playtime. She loves to meet new people and get very disapointed if someone just walk by her without at least saying hello.

And those squeaky toys... who can be in a bad mood when Leah decide to bang up one of those :o) She have litterally worn out a couple of fuzzy squeaky balls, so today we went to the petstore to pick up some new ones. And Leah ended up as the center of attention within a few minutes after we entered the store, much to her delight.

And today she have met my dad. Well, she have figured him out completly and I have a feeling that the 2 of them are going to get along just fine :o)

From Monster one day to Angel the next

Hmmm, this is rather interesting. Yesterday Leah was the Monsterchild and didn't take a break all day long, bein in a very destructive mood.
Today, however - she is The Angel !!
I know which of these two I prefer - since we can keep everything on the positive side when I don't need to tell her to  behave all the time. 

Sunday afternoon walk in the forrest

We got a late start Sunday. The original plan was to attend the local boxer club event, but wasn't close to being ready to go anywhere in the middle of the day. So instead we decided to go for a walk in the forrest in the afternoon.
