We had a great long weekend with Hildegard. She has a new reason that Hildebeast is a fitting name. She is the chewiest, chompiest little critter there is. Ray and I are convinced she is a crocodile in puppy clothing. Good thing 1. her puppy teeth are going to fall out soon and 2. we start puppy training in a few weeks. We have lots of new pictures but I am having trouble loading them, so I will get them on the blog soon.
On the fourth of July we went to my Dad's farm and Hilde was re-named "toilet paper". I guess she looks like the dog on the toilet paper commercials. Hilde ran, roamed and chewed her way to complete exhaustion. Mostly at the expense of my brother's dog Britta. She even had residual sleepiness the next day. As the day progressed my Dad decided that "toilet paper" really would be better off at his house. She was then re-named farm puppy. Farm puppy was going to stay outside at first. Then my Dad decided she could sleep in the heated garage. Then she got promoted to the house! Now she is invited on fishing trips, to Lake Vermillion and in my Dad's collector cars. Maybe farm puppy would be spoiled puppy if she actually did live with my Dad. That is coming from me....
The rest of the weekend was really hot! Hilde does not enjoy the heat at all. We mostly stayed inside and went swimming a little bit.
We went to the vet on Thursday. Hilde now weighs 18 1/2 pounds. The vet said we can expect Hilde to double in size by the end of the month! Agh!!!!!
