Day 149: Emily, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

Emily is now about 8 months old, and weights in at over 32kg. She still manages to have that really cute puppy-dog expression on her face “it is such hard work being so cute”.

Here are two of her siblings:

Eccles is Lois’ guide dog. She is a cross between a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. She has always had the gray on the muzzle, but it is starting to get a little more profound.

Cassius is the old boy of the house. Even though he is not a boxer, he is named after Cassius Clay (the boxer). He is starting to feel the cold in his bones, but he is such a lovely dog.

And since today’s pic is of Emily, we will finish off with another pic of her.

I caught this shot of Emily, who actually managed to keep still for more than 2 seconds. When we got her about 4 1/2 months ago, she weighed 6kg, now she is over 30kg!

It is tough being a little puppy. Emily is just over 6 months old now, and is already weighing in at over 30kg!

So is just now showing any signs of slowing down, she is going to be huge!

Two of my nieces playing with two of my dogs. So in a sense they are all cousins playing. They spent about an hour chasing a small rugby ball around the garden. The bigger dog is Eccles (lab/retriever cross), and the smaller one is Emily, a 5 month old golden retriever.

Emily is so quiet, she has a cat’s bell on her collar for the time being.
