Puppyhood goes way to fast! (Part Two - The Bindi Chronicles)

Bindi 8 weeks old

People have always complained that it is really hard to have a puppy, and it is sort of hard and a lot of work, but I love the puppy phase. Puppies do not remain puppies very long, it is really sad. I was not prepared for how fast our puppy was going to grow up.

Bindi 4 months old

It was almost as if Bindi went on hyperdrive in the journey to become a dog. Her tail grew, her snout elongated, her body elongated - what the hell?! Bindi started loosing her teeth and her adult teeth came in fast and furious. She became very leggy. 

This is Bindi at 6 months. I suspect she is not done growing. She will probably not be a large Border Collie, but she is 16 and 3/4" at the withers right now. We have stopped going with weight and started measuring her to see how she is growing. Her weight has been pretty much at a standstill, she just grows.

Bindi's bark has lost it's high pitched puppy bark. She has adult dog barks - Waaaah! I will admit to being very blue once realizing that the little puppy from Washington State is gone. She has been replaced by a dog who lives in Phoenix. It is what we were going for in the first place, I have accepted the new doggy order. The melancholy has left and our "Dog", keeps us laughing every day, all day long, with her antics and general comedy routines.
