He liked that one stairstep, I called it his "den". I took a picture of him on it each day he came to my house for puppy day care.
He came on Mondays to visit Grandma, as his Daddy had to show up at the physical office on Mondays.
You can see him growing out of his den, week by week.
May, June, the beginning of July... then there is a bit of a break, of a few weeks when we laid my brother to rest. Grandma wasn't home to provide puppy day care.
All of a sudden, he didn't fit!
Grandma stopped taking pictures on the step about that time.
Thank you for pulling this photo story together! And the den becomes his chair ... 😆
ReplyDeleteThank you and others in the group for spurring me to put them together. It really does show that "how fast they grow"!
DeleteWhat an adorable goober!🥰
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he wasn’t a black lab! It just goes to show, you never can tell… 😂
Mixed breeds really can masquerade!
DeleteAww, what a cute timeline!
ReplyDeleteOur son's lab mix grew like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the growth pictures…what a great record!! Eissa7
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm very glad I took those photos!
Delete❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteOkay...color me ignorant, but why isn't he a black lab? He sure looks black to me. And I'm pretty sure I'll feel REALLY stupid when I get the answer. Nevertheless, the photo timeline is adorable. 🐶
ReplyDeleteThis post was inspired by a discussion on the Maintenance groups threads about his breed, since he looks the spitting image of a puppy picture of a black lab in training someone else posted. In fact, Carl is a mixed breed, with a German Shorthaired Pointer for a dad, and a Doberman Pinscher mom... but he sure LOOKS like a black lab, doesn't he?
DeleteAww, love seeing dogs as puppies. So so cute! I wish I could have seen Scooter so tiny even though he's still tiny.
ReplyDeleteThey grow so fast. I'm really glad I took these photos when I did, because it's easy to forget!
DeleteSuch a cutie, big or small.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm so proud of how he's turned out as an adult dog, and a lot of that has to do with puppy training. His daddy had a set of instructions for me whenever I was taking care of him, and now... no pulling on the leash, slowing to grandma pace so he doesn't knock me down the steps (he's a big boy), knows how to wait his turn for treats, understands a LOT of English words... to get a good dog, you train the puppy!
Deletevery true, I have seen a few results of no proper training and it is really sad.
Delete❤️🐕🦺
DeleteInteresting mix for Carl. I always thought he was a lab. Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving. Enjoyed the pics.
ReplyDeleteI've seen so many "rescue" dogs that aren't at all what they look like! I remember one beagle mix that the only "beagle" part of him was the baying.
