Pretty cat. I think ours would have lived a long life but she was eaten by an off leash dog....

Pretty Lizzie indeed.

I should take a pic of ours and post it. She doesn't have the brown...but coloring wise looks quite a bit like yours. Except if you watch our cat walk...it's hilarious. No idea if it was something from getting her fixed...but she looks like she's fat...belly swaying back and forth and dragging the ground. But it's not "belly"....it's just all fur covered loose skin that hangs down like that. Never saw another cat with it.

Please do! Ditto the pup.

Penny just saw her first deer. I had to point it out to her and she didn't chase it but she sure sniffed where it'd been.

Then another couple went by and she....pointed. Yup, a full springer point. Good field genes even if mom and dad are bench.

Then she decided she could take them down and I had to intervene.

That's just in their genes, eh?  That's interesting and I didn't know that.  I guess if I'd have thought about it that would be rather difficult for a human to teach a dog how to point, now wouldn't it?

Heaven knows how that trait came about but yep, nothing they've been taught. Same with shaking something to break it's neck. And, to a degree, to retrieve. At 9 weeks there wasn't much about it that I taught her to do, doesn't seem like her little brain can't remember anything for more than 2 seconds but she sure can do it.

Always amazes me.

Even though she pointed, you showed her what to point at.

I'm guessing that puppies just don't have that sharp adult vision yet. Either that or she needs corrective lenses....

The pup is up to 20 pounds. I'm guessing she's about half way to her adult weight but ya never know.

She's doing better at night, not quite sleeping all night but only waking me up a couple of times instead of 4. She can sit, down and belly but only when she wants to, when she's in full blown puppy beserker mode fergit it.

I had a Lab once, fine fellow, that used to love to play jump in the yard.  Probably not a welcome trait but we had fun.  I had a little boy neighbor of about 6 that came over once and they were playing and Oliver knocked him down and smothered him with playfulness to the point of the boy crying.  I had to break it up.  My arms were always a mess.

Oliver was not a pup when I accquired him, more like a older teenager.  I picked him up in my extended cab pickup and put him in the back.  Before long he was in the seat with me and in about two or three miles was sitting on my side leaning on me.  The start of a close friendship.

Springers are bad about, well, springing and I never broke Beau of it but right now Penny is just going through that excessive flying puppy milk needle teeth stage .Plus she's teething some of her adult teeth so it's a double whammy.

We'll survive, it's just additions to the scar collection.

Yup, it'll be three months on the 9th. I'm going by her parents but Cassandra thinks she's going to be bigger.

Velcro dog - I like that.  It says more than the literal words.

HeeHee Yep it does...a saying that really sticks.  (Especially when I hear my sweetie every now and then "grump" at ours...except she calls him her shadow.)
