Pokey little puppy

Remember that cute little, 14-pound puppy we brought home last fall?


Well, he's now weighing in at just over 40-pounds, and still isn't too fond of being picked up!


SQUIRM SQUIRM SQUIRM!


Ok, hold him still for the picture!


Yeah, that's just not happening!


Trust me - while he might LOOK a lot bigger, he's still very much a puppy at only 9-months old. There's still plenty of occasions where he's getting lectured for hyper behavior, glared at after whipping his tail into a bowl of cereal milk, or knocking over a drinking glass. He still rip-roars around the house with a bad case of the puppy zooms, and still gets slashes on his nose from trying to give the cats WAY more love and affection than they could ever want from a dog.

Yup, definitely still a puppy. A really big puppy!

LOL I was wondering who that was! ;-)

HYSTERICAL photo. Doogie's almost bigger than Brett!

Although, hopefully Brett's tail doesn't make it into your cereal bowl. Awkward.

Big puppy! Thankfully, Gus has finally stopped around the heavy 16 pound mark... we thought he was just going to keep going!

Finny - Good point about the size comparison. It's amazing how, when he stretches out, Doogie's just as long as a person! And no, so far Brett hasn't dipped his tail in the milk!

Joe - 16 pounds actually sounds big for a little guy like Gus! I guess he's not really a mini-dachshund, eh?
