growing Gabe

Today, our puppy is 6 months old! 
And he has been very busy growing like a weed...
2 months
3 months

4 months
5 months
6 months
He has grown 4-5 pounds a week steadily since we got him - and when he was weighed at the vet this week he was 96 pounds!!! Yikes... wonder what the next 6 months will bring?!?!?

Although we haven't gotten very much snow this year, the little bit we have makes Gabe happy!

And playing with Gabe makes Hamp & Sam very happy!

In case you were wondering about how the kitties are adjusting to life with a puppy, well Minou (the old lady!) was naturally quite unhappy about it at first... but he is growing on her! He patiently waits for her to finish eating before he chases her through the house and they have learned to share the couch for naptime!
Oh, and Little Kitten (the wild one!) will not even be seen in the same room as the dog! 
That relationship has got a lot of growing to do...


So, despite the dog hair all over the house and clothes, and the muddy paws that track in the kitchen, and the giant turds in the backyard, and the $15.95 I owe the library for the book he chewed up...
... having sweet Gabe around for hugs, kisses, walks and puppy love is worth it all!!!

  1. I LOVE this post! You hadn't posted any pictures of Gabe so Alec and I have been wondering how big he is now. Funny, I think the comparison pictures are so cool I am planning on doing the same with Allen Jess at his upcoming six months, hee-hee!
