Sariah - Week 11

Sariah is continuing to grow at a rapid rate.  We are true puppy lovers as evidenced by the holiday collar she had to have.  She is exploring the yard more and less skiddish when she hears birds, other barking or loud car noises.  She got into the unwrapping of her gifts with great gusto.  We are discovering her intelligence as we've taught her a few tricks that she picks up on the first day she's trained.  She can sit, shake and come.  She's pretty smart about the potty training, but she still has at least one accident a week.  This breed is definitely motivated by food, and Sariah is most attentive when she knows there is food in your hand.  Her walks are more successful when she remembers we have treats.  She still loves to snuggle and play and when she's not nipping at our pants, we have a great time with her.  Her vet visit on 12/17 had her weighing 15.7 pounds.  She was 8.4 just three weeks ago,  which verifies what we're seeing.  She is expected to be full size by 9 months.
