The many faces

You must wonder what my "little" pup looks like these days.



Little, he is not.  He is is growing like the weeds grow in the bark dust in our back yard.  Remind us to lay a cover under the bark dust next summer.  The weeds overwhelm me.


He is 23 weeks which equals 5 months.  I need to stop counting his age in weeks.  It's confusing and makes me sound like I am counting months of pregnancy.  Which I am not.  He is 44lbs.  He has quadrupled in size.


Oliver has such a funny personality.  Really seriously when we chose that little pup we chose him because we had already fallen in love with his docile, go with the flow, personality.  He was the only pup who wouldn't give us the time of day.  I was sure he hated us when I put him down and he walked straight to the corner to sleep.  But we chose him anyway and we are so happy we did.  I know he doesn't hate us now.  In fact he is one of our biggest fans, we are his also, so it all works out. 


I take an overload of pictures and I am so glad.  Some are terrible cell phone pictures, but as I look back and look at our big pup now and want to hold him close and cry because he is so grown up.  


You need to see the many faces of Mr. Oliver. 


Oliver's first day as a Walunas



Still not really sure what is going on.  I will stay under this chair.  Maybe they won't notice me.



Flying Dog!



Listen Lady, I am holding your CD case hostage.  If you don't stop taking pictures of me, it's a gonner.


I can RUN!  More like pounce... why is this grass so long?


True relaxation... under a desk - with cords.



I've barely made it in the house and you're already taking pictures?



Big yawn.


I'm a real man's man.



I'm just talking on the video phone.  I mean, what's not to love?



No I won't smile.  I won't even look at you.  Let me in please.



Maybe if I sleep on the rocks they won't make me go in the water.


 
I CANNOT believe they forced me in the water.  I could have drown.


Trying to eat here!!



I can help you tape the wall for paint.  I promise, I won't eat the tape... again.


This is humiliating.


  I would really like to bite your tail off.


Yes, I am in fact a fluffy monster.


 I want to COME!!! Help me up, please.

LET ME GOOOOO!!!


Look Piper, I am sitting.  Now you are supposed to share.


You just wait, you are going down.  I am about to shake this water ALL OVER YOU!



Do they make a Dog cuter?  I don't think so.

I like going to the vet.  They think I am so cute and give me treats.  I will just lay here and wait.



I may be 4 times bigger, but I still love laying on my back.


When she wakes up she will roll over and see me on the pillow next to her.  She will think I am so cute!


Decorating for Christmas is exhausting!


You really should tell the groomer that next time they wash me NOT to fluff me out and this bandanna is RIDICULOUS!
