Oliver weighed in at 12 lbs, and Berkeley was a mere 42 lbs, just shy of 4 months old. She is probably almost 50 lbs now!
We were given an A+ for both of their health and well-being.
Berkeley is currently going through her teenage puppy stage. She has gotten a lot more energetic, and she tries to test her boundaries sometimes, which can be a bit frustrating when we KNOW she knows what she is or is not supposed to do. So we are living by one main motto with her...consistency! If she does not listen on her own when we give her a command, we make her listen. But even in this difficult time with her, she is learning a lot, and she really is a great dog! In a couple of months we are probably going to get her spayed and then, once she's healed, enrolled in puppy obedience classes! We are both looking forward to the helpful hints and dedicated training time inherent in these classes.
All in all, she is doing famously! We took her to Mikey's parents' house for the 4th of July and she laid calmly in the shade most of the day, and she slept right through the fireworks show we attended later at night! And she has gotten better and better and heeling while she walks on the leash. We are such proud parents :) lol.
Here are some pictures over the past couple of weeks of Berkeley and Oliver (but mostly Berkeley...lol)!
Sleepy girl, taking a nap on the sofa.
Berkeley with my Dad when we went to their house for July 4th weekend.
She kept wanting to rest her head on Mikey and be right next to him during the ride to his parents' house on July 4th! It was so sweet!
We took both of the pups to play in a field by our church today. They loved it!
