Update on Ember

Wow, so we are learning more and more about this sweet puppy every day!  After talking with Mom more and looking at pics online, we are thinking she looks more like she has German Shorthaired Pointer in her.  Want to know why?  Look at one of them:hogan_german_short_haired_pointer_01_jpg_w450 Source of photo

I think this photo shows that this breed has so many similarities to sweet Ember!  We still think her other half is likely Australian Cattle Dog, but it’s possible it could also be Australian Shepard. Late June 2010 021 Additionally, Mom believes, after checking her teeth, that she probably wasn’t quite 3 months when we got her.  She’s thinking maybe 10 weeks.  If that’s so, then we NOW have a 3 month old :)

She’s growing so fast, and I can see it!  I can also feel it when I pick her up, haha!  I think she’s likely 15 pounds by now, and she was 12 when we got her.  I’ll find out at her Vet appt today her actual weight.

Here’s some new pics of her lately!Late June 2010 001I took this pic early in the morning on June 20th as it shows some big green sleepies in her eyes :(  I think she just has grass allergies, and the freshly mowed lawn flared her up.Late June 2010 020My sneaky little girl ;)Late June 2010 022 While I was on the computer, she decided she wanted to lay in the office with me :)Late June 2010 023 Late June 2010 027 She was playing a little rough with Uncle Ronnie; playful little girl.Late June 2010 028She loves her granddaddy!Late June 2010 044While she loves being at Grandmommy and Granddaddy’s house, she’s always one tired puppy at the end of the day!Late June 2010 045Late June 2010 046She is no stranger to car rides, and she was certainly ready to ride home sleeping after a long day!Late June 2010 047 Late June 2010 048She REALLY loves her Aunt Justine!  She even used her as a pillow!

She was having lots of fun playing with her Daddy!

We give her this Kong toy to play with and chew on which is stuffed with treats that she has to fish out of it.  This time, she had some unusually difficult treats to get out, and it took her an hour!  Lots of entertainment :)

Her Aunt Ashlee has also successfully taught her to lay down on command!  Whoop!

We are loving our sweet Ember!
