4 Months Old

Our puppy girl is four months old today!  I don't know how Aggie Belle has grown so fast, but at yesterday's check-up, she weighed in at 25 pounds.  Gracious!  She's two and a half Baileys now.

Aggie Belle has lost about half of her puppy teeth in the last week and a half.  She's all gums, but lots of those permanent teeth are coming in quickly.  We managed to find two of her front canines on the floor, and Isaac pulled a third tooth on Sunday night.

The sweet girl is so tall that Bailey can walk under her with lots of clearance.  It's incredible.  Aggie Belle and  Bailey are becoming closer.  Bailey officially decided Aggie Belle was a part of our family on Sunday when he barked and growled at the dogs next door when they began barking at Aggie Belle through our mutual fence.  They are the most annoying creatures, but Bailey has always chosen to ignore them in the past.  Bailey wasn't one bit fond of those dogs barking and disturbing Aggie Belle though.  Watch out mean dogs!

Aggie Belle still put everything in her mouth, doesn't care for the blow dryer, and still chases her tail in tight circles until she falls down.  She prefers to suck on her tail or have her elephant with her at bed time.  She has perfected 'sit', 'come', 'howdy', 'off', 'up', 'heel', and is working on 'stay' and 'whoop'.  :) Aggie Belle enjoys sitting on her ottoman and watching the gerbils play.  She whines until we let them out for her to lick.  She learned that from big brother.

We've learned to be careful and search the yard before letting her out.  On Thursday Aggie Belle captured a fledgling robin who had been kicked out of its nest.  We rescued it, and it was able to fly away.  On Monday, she did the same thing with a young blue jay.  Oops.  He was ok too.

We love our Aggie Belle, and we are so excited for many more fun adventures!
