Big Dogs

Zeta is getting big. Well, depending on your perspective. We continue to have to patiently wait for the right time to sign her up for puppy school because her shots and the timing of classes has been off. So! She gets to go to school on the 27th, which is her birthday! She will be 15 weeks old. That's nearly FOUR MONTHS! I feel like I'm running out of time for her puppy development! It's ok, I suppose, as some trainers think a dog's impressionable youth is completed at 12 weeks and others at up to 20. Who knows? When does a dog's brain really solidify?

This weekend, both the boys asked about how much bigger she would get. I asked if they liked her small. They both said yes. Also, she was referred to as "portable" and portable is a good thing. Zeta will always remain portable!

Zeta is taking on the characteristics of a Schnauzer now. For the longest time she looked like a little teddy-bearish puppy thing.

Eight weeks

See, she's looking like a dog now:

Twelve weeks

Oh, and the Sexy Beast looks great! Nice hands, doncha think? ;-)

Zeta thinks she is a big dog. Lest we burst her bubble, we shall put her in the Puppy Class for all breeds rather than the class for small breeds.

We MUST further socialize her! I gotta think of other cool places for her to go -- without having her full set of shots STILL. Grrrr.
