Lola !

A few pictures of Lola from her first few months with us.  Here she is at 8 weeks on 29 December, her second day with us, still holding onto a rag that carried the smells of her mother and brothers and sisters.  She weighed in at 6.1kg...A week later, 9 weeks and 7kg, her ears still very floppy, but that character starting to develop in her face...

...but still very much a baby.  Yawning and then..

falling asleep on the kitchen floor.

9 1/2 weeks, 8kg now, and starting to get interested in the cats

11 1/2 weeks, and 11kg, all that growing can make you very sleepy.

13 1/2 weeks, off the lead in the fields on top of Withycombe Hill, 13kg now and starting to look more like a young dog than a puppy from time to time.

The same day, on Minehead beach, starting to practice her "wolf" look!

A few weeks later, 16 weeks old and out on the hills again. 18kgs now and growing very fast indeed.

At 20 weeks, Lola is 21kg and starting to look like a young adult, with a very mature look in her eyes as she surveys the mess she's made of the front garden.

Still practising the "wolf" look, and it's getting convincing now.  At 22 weeks and 24kg, it's starting to be a struggle to lift her in and out of the car.

Amazing how a five-month old puppy can look like a fully grown dog - but she's still got a lot of growing to do to catch up with those paws. 23 weeks and 24.6kg, slowing down a little...

...and enjoying her morning walk up on the hills.
