Gracie

10-23-2008

Gracie is 5-months old. She is not nearly the size of our other doodles, but we're not complaining. She weighs around 30 pounds and our others were already around 50 at the same age. However, she eats just about as much as Charlie (our 100 pounder).

Gracie has tons of personality and is most affectionate, always full of kisses. She enjoys running in the back yard, going on walks in the park, riding in cars, and playing with toys (especially her knotted rope). She is hillarious when she plays keep-away with the other dogs. She will dart under and through chairs where the larger doodles cannot fit. I've seen her do the same with sticks in the back yard, as well.

She is a real digger. I had to fetch her from the neighbor's yard one day after digging under the fence to play with the next door neighbor's dog's stuffed toy (at least I hope it belonged to the dog.) She has our yard looking like a mine field at times, and if the soil is moist then the opportunities for DEEP holes is certain. At times she is covered in mud and that curly hair does not release it easily.

Anyway, below are some pictures of a relatively clean Gracie in our living room.
