Is that fairy dust?

More like tooth fairy dust! These last two weeks, I have started loosing my baby teeth!! Luckily no one has stepped on them yet! I lost my very first tooth at puppy play time last week! This week at puppy play time, I lost TWO teeth!! They just keep falling out!! My mommy has been so busy this last week cleaning up the house from all of my piddling.... :( I just can't help it!! The family isn't thinking it's so cute anymore! I have a feeling I am going to start potty-training bootcamp soon if I don't stop! It's a good thing that Santa isn't coming for a couple of months still, because I have to get my act together with all the this piddling and chewing on stuff! Oh, did I tell you?? I um...well....um....I ate part of the recliner.....WHOOPS! Mommy and Daddy were not happy with me at ALL! That was one of my naughtiest moments ever! Now, enough with the bad things I've been doing, what about the good things!! I have almost all of my adult hair in now! The only part that is not adult hair is my head! It's still very light brown, while the rest of me is quite dark! Everyone says I look a little funny!! I am weighing in at a solid 40 pounds now! I know it doesn't sound like much, but Bandit is 11 and weighs 54 pounds.....guess who is only 5 1/2 months and weighs almost as much as an 11 year old! It's a good thing I'm not a kid, because someone would call child services on the family cause I would be a HUGE baby!! HA! I went to puppy play time tonight and had LOTS of fun! I thought this would be my last one, since I am just so huge compared to the other puppies, but I don't think it will be anymore! Stephanie the dog trainer told me I can come as long as I want, since I am such a gentle giant. I was so happy to hear that! I LOVE going to that place!! Well, I think I have said enough to cover me for not writing for 2 weeks! WHOOPS! But hey, you try typing with these HUGE paws!!

Much Love,

Gracie

Passed out puppy!

What? I was just checking things out...on the table

I know it's a little blurry, but look at that face?!

Getting our tan on...is this collar going to
give me a funny tan line?!

Watching people pack is making me sleepy!

Mmm toys!

Cookie?!

Sounds like lunch is coming! 

This is one of my favorite toys!

I love sleeping with my toys!

Try being mad at this face!! You can't!! 

There's a little bit of devil in her angle eyes

Not only is my blog title a cute lyric from a country song, it's so true! I have been so busy growing and chewing on everything that I haven't had much time to blog lately! One of my favorite things to chew on lately, is shoes! Mmmm shoes! My mommy has been the real only victim lately with the shoe chewing.....what can I say, her's are the yummiest!!! I have been so busy playing in the pool and practicing my swimming too! I am getting to be the best swimmer in the house!! (Ok maybe not, Nick and Em both swam in high school....but I'm close!) I got my second bath since being home the other day! I have officially out grown the utility sink! Luckily I have a kiddie pool that did the trick! :) I also got a new collar this last month! My old one was getting to be a little small (since I am growing so fast!) and was beginning to get kind of smelly!! My new collar brings out my eyes Em tells me :) That must be a good thing!! Nick's brother got a new house last month and I got to visit for the first time this week! Talk about loads of space!! I had such a great time! I met a new friend their too! Her name is Rosey and she is a boxer! We played so long and hard, that I slept the ENTIRE way home! I went to another vet visit yesterday too! I am weighing in at almost 36 pounds :) Everyone keeps telling me I feel heavier! All I know is, that I must not be too heavy, because everyone still loves to snuggle!!

I'm exhausted!! Sleep well everyone!

Where are all my toys?? 

Like my new bling?

Squirrel!! 

Car rides always make me sleepy!

I'll drive!

But I need to take a rest first!

Lizard tongue!

I'm SOOOOO long!

No, I'm not chewing on the pillow.....

Hose!

Best buddies on the couch! 

Dr. Rick! Hurry up! 

What? It's not a REAL popsicle! 

These are my favorite toys :) 

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 

This is my best friend Bandit

What's this? 

I didn't do it I swear!

It's an alien.....wait....no.....

LET ME OUT!

Rough day

I wasn't chewing on your sock....

Oops.....my bad

I love hanging out with my best friend

Ahh so comfy :) 

Squished! 

I'm too long....

Not a fan of cows....

Crap...you caught me

Make room Gracie is coming through!

It's 102 degrees out here and it's dog gone hot!

WHEW! Hope everyone is staying cool in this heat!! I know I hate being outside right now! Lucky for me, I have a home that is nice and air conditioned!! Yesterday I got to play in the pool with everyone and boy was it fun! I am becoming such a pro inside the pool that I don't even need anyone's help to swim anymore! I love being in the pool with Nick since he hold me nice and tight :) No one else wants to hold me anymore since I am now 30 pound! Yikes where did that weight come from?? I see my good friend Dr. Rick tomorrow for another round of shots and to get another once over! He is going to be so impressed with how much I have grown in the last two weeks and how much I continue to grow!!

Stay cool today and get out of that heat!
