To Celebrate a Birthiversary...

Remember Jersey when we first got her and how small she was? Let me refresh your memory:






Last week was what I would call Jersey's Birthiversary. Her anniversary with us and technically her birthday as well since she was so sick when we got her. So we have had her two months and she is about four months old.

Ladies and Gentlemen...in this corner we have...Jersey Girl:


Weighing in at a whopping 25 pounds, up from the initial weigh in of 9, Jersey is ready to do battle with any animal:


Oops, wasn't trying to imply B was an animal. Anyway, despite Jersey's recent growth spurt, she still thinks of herself as a lap dog and wants to nap with you. It is just not as comfortable anymore:



Especially when she chooses your shoulder/chest/head:


Jersey is also getting taller. While sitting she is almost to our knees. See those rolls of skin at the bottom of her leg? I think that is proof that there is some Sharpei in her, even if she is looking more like a lab every day:


In addition to being much larger, Jersey has also become a ham and will pose for the camera:


We were told she would be a medium dog, but at 25 lbs four months in, I think we are looking at a 60 pound dog minimum. I mean look at those legs:


That face makes it all worth it!

Happy Birthiversary, Baby Girl.

She really is getting big, but still so cute.

And tell B if he turns the furnace up he won't have to wear a hat all the time.
