Sweet Kate Update

Oh our sweet little girl.  Katie Bird is growing like a weed!  I reckon they all do.  When we got her at seven weeks old she weighed three and a half pounds.  Friday, at ten weeks old, she was almost twelve pounds.  Not bad for just three weeks.  She also started going to work with Shaun and riding in his truck with him more.  She enjoys being a working girl!  On the job site, she got to meet and hang out with her buddy Opie who is a few weeks older than her, so she got to play a lot too.  Our friends also brought him over to play over the weekend.  Even though he is bigger than her she holds her own.  Must be from all her brothers and sisters.  She actually put herself to bed in her crate Saturday.  What a cutie. 

 

This is her first morning going with Shaun.

She must have got pretty comfortable in the truck.  By Thursday she was jumping from the front to backseat and looking out the windows.  Queen of the truck!

She gets along very well with the chickens.  She pecks right along with them.

This is Opie.  Handsome fella huh?

Mean girl!  jk

Sweet Kate Update

I tell you what, this dog is probably going to be smarter than us!  Our sweet puppy, Thelma Kate (my furry friends have always had multiple names), is so smart and sweet.  She is still napping like a baby but her playing is getting more and more energetic and let me tell you... the girl is fast!  We will run and run in the yard and when I stop fast and say "heel" she does and waits for me to give her the command to go again.  She responds to her name now except when it is time to go somewhere like when it is time to go home from the day care and she doesn't want to leave.  Bless her heart.  She'll get the hang of how things go.  She also noticed a robin in the yard and went after it.  I think her eyesight is getting to where she can see further and further and tune in on certain things.  She follows us around like a good girl and goes outside by herself.  She stays on or around the porch.  She definitely knows she is home.  Her legs are getting long and her little paws are getting bigger.  She also has such fun with the day care kids in playing with them and helping them do little chores like putting up their nap pillows and blankets.  We gave her her nine week shots today and she was so good to let us.  It seems like she has been with us longer than just two weeks.  She is such a good girl and we are so lucky to have her.  The perfect little addition to our family and farm.

 

Sleepy baby.  She is going to outgrow this bed fast.

 She likes when she is finally allowed to wake them up.

 Helping with chores... kind of.

 Lovin.

 Sweetheart.  I love the water on her furry lips in this picture.

 Sharing a bit of breakfast.

 Waiting patiently.

 Raring up wanting another bite of Shaun's biscuit.

 Sometimes she sleeps with my boots on the front porch.
