Pixel – 11 Months

Well, Pixel is almost a year old now and has been with us for 9 months.  It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of pee and poo but we’ve finally gotten it all under control *knocks wood*.   She is so cute it’s hard to stay angry with her when she does things like, oh I don’t know… pee on my sofa?

She’s grown so much, I sometimes don’t realize it until days like today when I look at old photos from her first days with us.

We should have seen from her face back then what a saucy little thing we were going to have on our hands!  She’s not bad as in biting or mean, but she is a live wire and you never know what she’s going to get up to next.

You really see how much she’s grown when you compare with this photo I took of her today.

I would have taken a pic of her with the toy from the first photo but it doesn’t exist anymore.  She ripped all the ropes out and chewed the blue plastic to bits.   Sort of like she’s done with the toy from the 2nd photo, which used to be a ball of about 5-6 different intertwined rubber rings.  She’s managed to pull them all apart and is now in the process of biting them into pieces.

She. Is. So. Destructive.

Thankfully she only does it with her own toys and never bothers with any of our stuff.   It just sucks that we have to keep buying toys just to watch her tear them to pieces.  She has even chewed Kong toys into a million pieces, and they are known to be the most durable dog toys there are.

Ah well, we love her.  Even if we may end up in the poor house with all the toys we have to buy her!
