Then and now! YIKES!

Anyone remember how Dale looked back in July when he came to his forever home with my daughter and her family? :) Here's a little trip down Memory Lane. This is a picture of Dale meeting Bella and Ripley back in July.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/fae9173b.jpg Ripley was so happy to have a playmate his size. :)

Here is Dale with Ripley as of tonight. Ripley is leaving the kitchen and Dale is going in, side by side! :)

Here are the 3 together back in July:

And here they are tonight! :eek:

Hope you enjoyed! Dale is only about 45 lbs. now (left Bella in the dust!) and is on his way to over 100 lbs! :eek: I'll keep you posted as will Robyn!

Thanks Mugsy! Yes, he is a Swissie! He belongs to my daughter who posts as Christiansmommy. Dale came to his forever home in July at only 10 lbs.! HA! He is growing like a little weed and is just an awesome dog. So sweet! I think Ripley wishes he would have stayed small! LOL!

Pam, your granddog is one big boy, and to think, he is not done yet. I can just imagine Trevor and Andy's eyes kind of saucer-like when they see him. Thanks for the pictures, they are delightful.

Oh my gosh!

Pam, I cannot believe how much Dale has grown. And look how big his head and paws are, still. I think you are right, that he will be over 100 pounds!

Great comparison photos!

More!

How fast they do grow. *sigh* If we could just stop time for just a little while and enjoy them when they are little baby pups.

I just love that last picture of all three of them. Please give them big hugs from me.

Bella got to go over to Dale's house on Saturday for some playtime and a little walk since Ripley got to go to the beach alone on Friday. :) Dale is growing like a runaway weed! LOL! Robyn says he is now 50 lbs. Bella is 41! :eek: Where did that little puppy go? :D

A little play time with the ball... http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/fad415b7.jpg

The pupsters take a walk with Robyn...
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/fad415a0.jpg

You can see Bella is still a tiny bit taller but there is much more of Dale! Another day another pound! LOL!

Edit: The big circle of dirt isn't from a UFO. :) They just took down Christian's pool for the summer. :)

Last one for now...

What's the little human doing in that box?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/fad41145.jpg

Bella almost looks petite here...
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/fad4104e.jpg
You can see they look close in size, but believe me Dale is one big, heavy pupster but oh so sweet!! He still tries to curl up in my lap when I sit on the floor! :)

OK I'll stop now! :D

Dale seems to be doing well with walking on a leash...look at that slack line. Robyn is such a tiny lady, I was a bit worried about a big hunk of a dog dragging her around, but obviously that is not a problem.

Actually, Dale is great on a leash. I was concerned too that he would be able to pull me around once full grown, i would only have like 10 lbs on him! But he is great...infact we used to have to pull him to get him moving :) When he walks with Bella he pulls a little...b/c he wants to keep up with her :) But when it is just him, we can take his leash off and he walks right beside us and even stops when we do!! ANyway, thanks everyone for the compliments on DAle. And thanks mom for posting the pics!
