The Year of Gracie: Growing Up Quick

Boy is that true! I have been so busy growing up these last couple of days that I am so exhausted! These days I am topping the scales off at 34 pounds! WOO HOO! I officially weigh half the amount of Bandit (who is a 10 years old black lab!)!! That's saying something! I'm not just growing on the outside, I'm growing inside too! I've got some of my back molars coming in now! Makes me want to chew on EVERYTHING I can get my hands on now! Sometimes Mommy and Daddy don't really like that.....like when I chew the pillow...or shoes! I am still practicing my swimming lots which is always a fun treat! With all this heat though, I have been looking for some other ways to stay cool! Luckily I have found the sprinkler in the yard to do the trick, sometimes it scares me though! One of my favorite treats on these long hot days is a frozen peanut butter kong! Mommy and Daddy like giving it to me because it keeps me from chewing on anything else! It makes for a much happier house :) Speaking of a happier house, Bandit and I are getting along MUCH better these days! We have started sharing chairs to sit on and sometimes even food. She has become much more accepting of me these last couple of days! Thank God!!

I'll keep growing if you keep reading :)

Lots of love,

Gracie
