Awww you guys say the nicest things.

Aly, you are lucky to be still under those covers at 6:00AM with a cat in the house! I guess Shiloh "sleeps in" a little later than Trevor and Andy. Usually I don't get the wake-up call from the kitties til around 6:30 but every once in a while......

Bridget, my son absolutely hates that collar. He said she looks like a wimp in it! haha! I told him she's a girl doggie and all girls love jewelry! Besides she's not a wimp when she's riddin' our lawn of varmints!

Jackie, actually Bella is probably going to be on the small side for a standard. I think that she will probably be about 40 lbs. when she is finished growing. I haven't weighed her since she was spayed but she was around 32 lbs. then around the end of July. Our last standard poodle, Whitney, was around 45 lbs. and Whitney's dad weighed in at 65-70 lbs. so they can be quite large. Actually I am kind of enjoying the fact that she's still somewhat small. She loves to climb up in my lap and she almost still fits....almost!
