Eight months old

So Chewy is now eight months old and he is going through his second chewing phase. We have lost 4 pairs of shoes and 3 pairs of socks during this phase. He's also acquired a taste for a new blanket I brought home last weekend.

My Grandma Dodok and me
I visited my mom's mom on President's day weekend. We didn't do much, but I think she enjoyed the visit. I made one of those knotted fleece blankets while I was there. She does really well for someone who is 88!

Believe it or not it's freezing outside...

It was beautiful outside so I decided to bundle up and take some pictures of Chewy. He loves this weather. He'll get a haircut when spring comes.

He's growing so fast....

Here is a side by side showing Chewy's growth so far. The first picture was taken August 28th, the second picture was taken Jan 6th. He's now 46 pounds.

Happy New Year

We hope everyone had a happy new year!

Winter Wonderland

Chewy LOVES the snow. He is a snow bunny for sure.

Here he is enjoying the fresh snow that came today.

It snowed last night.....

So, Chewy is seeing and playing in snow for the first time.

He absolutely loves it. I'll post more pics and a video later.

Now he's neutered!

Before (above) and after (below)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I always forget to take pictures, Jason's mom took this one for us.

It's the first turkey in this house!

We fried it out in the backyard.

It was moist and delicious and we still have our eyebrows!

First Time Howling

WARNING: this video is loud - Jason is playing the trombone while Chewy gets up the nerve to sing along.

He's so much bigger now!

No pictures - sorry. I just wanted to have people check out the August 2007 archives and compare the recent Chewy pictures to those from the first day we brought him home. He was 7 pounds then and now he's over 30 pounds. His adult weight should be around 70 so we still have a long way to go/grow.

Chewy - Up Close and Personal

Chewy just found out that he is getting neutered after Thanksgiving.

He's not looking forward to it.

Chewbacca

Here are a couple shots of Chewy as Chewbacca.
He didn't photograph very well, so use your imagination too.

Obviously this in not the dog. We aren't that good at making costumes!

I just wanted to show what we tried to recreate.

Recent Chewy Pictures

Close up shot.

He was shy at first when we got inside the park.
We were leaving the dog park when I remembered to take a picture.
Chewy's new car harness so he can enjoy the view.
He barked while I was taking the picture so he looks funny.
