OK, since I suggested this over on another post, I'll get the ball rolling. I know most of us love to see pics of everyone's dogs - so let's see your pup's baby pics! [Note - you can share your 'real' baby's pic too if you want... but just be warned that we might ooo and ahhh more wildly over your fuzzy baby's pic...]

So... here is Abby aImage Enlarger

s a pup. SOOOOO cute, right??? Don't you just want to pick her up and squeeze her??

How could we not bring her home?? She only spent 2 nights at the shelter (she was sent to the shelter I volunteer at from another shelter in Arizona - don't know how she ended up at the Zona shelter). She only would have spent one night there, but one of the nights was Thanksgiving, and they are closed that day, so we had to wait until the next morning to go get her.

I have hardly any decent puppy pics of her, because she was always moving around so fast. But one day when I was making dinner, I bent down to get a pan out of the cupboard. As the pan came out, Abby went in, and I was finally able to get her to stay still long enough to get a non-out-of-focus photo of her.

Next??? Let's see whacha got!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

This is a great idea!  I can't decide which is the cutest - they're all just too cute for words!

Here's Sam at 13 weeks (because we didn't get Tate until past puppy-hood)

These are of Maggie at about 10 weeks old in June of 1999.  The first one is me holding her on the day I met her.  The second is a week or so later- that's my foot in the picture. She weighed 4.5 pounds.

Here's one of Rumbles...he was about 4 months old in this picture. This was an awkward stage...his ears flopped IN toward his head. I was worried they would stay that way...typical mom-thought. Fortunately they flopped back out a few weeks later.
