I'm A Big Girl Now!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I'm not a baby anymore is what I think she is trying to tell us.  Miss AnnaBelle will be 9 months old tomorrow (which I can't even believe).  She decided 3 nights ago that she doesn't think that she needs to be in her crate at night anymore.  We have been leaving her out loose in her room with Lucy if we leave during the day but were still crating her at night mostly because we want to be able to crate her when we go to FL if we need to leave her in the Condo for any reason and wanted her to still be used to being crated.  She has decided she doesn't think that is necessary.  She really hasn't given us any reason not to trust her, but I would hate for that first time to be when we are staying at someone else's place, ugh!  She will also be starting on her first bag of big girl food in just a few more meals when the current bag is gone.  She was 52 lbs at last weight check a couple weeks ago.  She is catching up with Lucy height wise, but her weight gain has really slowed down.  Think she still might eventually make it to 60 lbs, but I'd be surprised if it is much more.   She is such a pest to Lucy.  Lucy's ears are her favorite play toy.  I've never seen a dog that loves toys the way that she does.  Neither Lucy or Sophie were like that.  She always has something chewing on it or wanting you to throw it.  She is currently in that phase where everything new throws her off and she has to bark or growl at it.  She is a talker ... lots of grrrs, woofs, and noises.   Such a little joy to have around.

OMD, AnnaBelle is such a beautiful doodle, and just chock full of personality too!

Your doodles are precious. Love the two different colors! Happy Birthday to beautiful Annabelle!

AnnaBelle, you are just growing up way toooo fast, but so adorable too:)  Sheri, she is just beautiful and I love the picture of her carrying the Santa Hat!

Wow, time flies. AnnaBelle has turned into a beautiful young lady and of course Lucy is a beauty in her own right.

How sweet they are. You make me want another doodle someday to be a buddy to Yogi.
They are truly precious and I love hearing about them

I can hardly believe she is 9 months old already! She's adorable and sounds like quite the character, lol. I'm also glad to hear that Lucy is tolerating being used as a toy. LOL

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

She is so adorable! Time sure flies!

[Camilla and Darwin]

She has grown into such an adorable doodle, I can't get enough of hearing updates on your two. Love this!

AnnaBelle - you are a precious girl!  I didn't realize that she and my boys are the same age. Casey and Cody turned 9 months old December 2. They haven't had the opportunity to experience the "white stuff" yet - and hopefully - - - they won't! (Sorry all you snow lovers, but my southern blood is too thin for that stuff!  We have it about once every 2 or 3 years and that is enough for me).  AnnaBelle is lucky to have sweet Lucy - - just hope that Lucy think so, too. :)

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

They don't stay little for long do they, but Annabele's grown beautifully. I had the same bandanna on Finn today for his therapy work :)  No hat though.  That's precious.

Where did the time go?! We sure hope we'll get to meet you all in Florida!

They are BEAUTIFUL!!
