Presenting the newest member of the family: Pimenta

[Lucho]

Just a quick update: Pimenta is still growing, especially in self-confidence. She still comes out on the short end of the stick with Pantera's hardstyle training method, but no dog has a prayer with Pimenta. Even as an almost adult she is still nearly as vocal as a Siamese, never afraid to call for attention and/or play

AWWWwwwww! So beautiful, too!!!

At fourteen months, Pimenta is still a growing teenager. She's still smaller/lankier than Pantera, but is beginning to bulk up. And the (c)attitude is growing even faster

Yes, she sure is learning to love the camera Her markings are interesting: Superficially Pimenta is a classic/marbled tabby, but looking closely she's got a second tiger tabby pattern underneath. I call her a "double tabby"

Now at 17 months Pimenta is more or less at the end of her growth. While she looks small- she still looks to be less than a year old- Pantera's hardstyle training has put some muscle on her. She's quite heavy for her petite size, and weighs 3/3.5kg (say 8 or so pounds)





This photo makes Pimenta look chunky, she's still long and lanky as always. Here she's coiled like a spring, about to pounce
