Katie is 8 months old today!

Hi All,

Katie is 8 months old today. I just can't believe! She is growing so fast. She has been staying steady at about 67 pounds lately. It is raining today so of course she wants to keep going outside. I don't get it..but she loves the rain. Her last trip out I didn't check on her enough and when I did she was all muddy! I swear she is trying to dig to China! I cleaned her up the best that I could and had her take a timeout in her crate. She is sound asleep and when the mud dries I will brush her out real good. We put up the Christmas tree last night and Katie was right there to help. She didn't bother anything just wanted to sniff and see what we were doing. But....this morning she snatched an ornament off the tree and chewed its little head off. Ornery pup! It was a little stuffed ornament so maybe she thought it was a stuffed toy for her...lol. I LOVE my Katie Girl!

Here is a couple pics of us. I wasn't going to post them because..well..you know....big fat me, YUK! Then I thought "What the Heck, I just don't care anymore". So here they are:

I like this one. Its our Happy Pic!

Congrats Katie :D

Happy 8 month birthday, beautiful Katie girl!:D That smile on your face and your BEATUIFUL Mommy's face, says it all! She's gorgeous, Robi!:) And so are you! What a heavenly match! How did the obedience class go last night? Have to go check out that thread! Give Katie a BIG hug and kiss frome me!:) Sandra

I love those pictures, of both of you! I especially like the first one. It just warms my heart so much, the wonderful happy expression on both of your faces! Thanks for sharing :)

I think it's a great picture!! You both look so happy together!

happy birthday katie, you are a very sweet baby!! we love you over here!!!!!!!

Happy 8th Katie!! You're so cute!! Give mommy lots of kisses.
:D

Happy 8th month Birthday Katie!! Dale was 67 lbs on Monday...and is about 70 now!! :eek: :eek: Is she considered to be a big Akita? I am not sure what their size range is.

Anyway, glad she didn't get an ornament that could have harmed her...at least it was a stuffed one!! Dale could care less about the tree...just barks at it occasionally (which is a typical Swissie thing to do...bark at things that seem out of the norm).

She sounds like Dale with that digging in the mud....i think they must be digging to meet each other or something...b/s he seems like he is on a mission when he does it!! LOL! Puppies...gotta love them!! I am glad that she has been there with you through all of the hard times you have had with the cancer...i am sure she will remain a very special doggy to you through out the upcoming years and will hold a special place in your heart that only she could fill!!

Happy Birthday Again Katie!!

You are growing up to be such a beautiful girl! :D

I really enjoyed the pictures you posted and am glad you decided to post them!

Happy 8 month birthday MS. Katie.
You and your human mommy both take beautiful pictures.

I was wondering about the obedience class too.
No dogs last week?
Katie update please.

We got your card today, and Katie looks sooo grown up and dignified on the front, it's hard to believe she was that silly puppy we met in Ohio! How fast they grow, huh? Happy days for you both! :) What a big beautiful girl, and what a happy dog-mom! :)

Happy 8 months, Katie! Love the pics. I know how you feel. I hate posting pics of myself, too. But, that's a great pic of you two. Glad she's bringing you lots of happiness.

Awww, they grow up so fast, don't they?! Happy 8 months Katie! :)

These pictures are just beautiful and you BOTH look terrific! She is growing like a little weed! :D I'm glad she didn't chew up anything more serious than a stuffed ornament. Please don't ever hesitate to post pics. You know we just love pictures here at PT! :)

Aww Katie you are getting so big, and beautiful! :D Congrats!

Happy birthday, Katie!

I cannot believe that she is only 8 months! She's huge. Robilee, that is a great picture of you. You have beautiful eyes!
