 Allie
is now the size of a small horse. She gained at least 10 lbs
the first month she was here and she probably has gained more
than that as of now. As you can see she's enjoying another one
of her favorite pastimes of chewing on a beef knuckle bone.
The past couple of weeks has been very trying. She's
discovered another favorite pastime of barking up a tree. Our
tree that she will sit out underneath for hours and just bark
until you'd think she should go hoarse, or faint. However,
she's very well nourished apparently and has great stamina.
I'm not sure the neighbors are happy with me, but she sleeps
in the house during noise ordinance hours so there's not much
they can do.
She is spoiled and gets to
come/go as she pleases. She loves to chase the birds and
squirrels. When it's daylight I'll take a picture of the tree
in my back yard for you to see how high she can jump up it and
take bark off. It's hard to believe. But I did read that
her breed has been known to climb a tree to get the coon that
they trapped.
 Her
coat is just gorgeous and shiny because I continue to feed her
the Nutro puppy large breed controlled growth formula. She
hardly has any pink spots left - nothing like before. They're
practically gone. The kids just adore her and love running
with her outside. And of course she loves to chase them. I
filmed her during one of her spastic moments about a week ago.
Seems about bedtime she like to spend her last little bit of
energy and go running through the house like a wild banshee
about every night. She will get up on my bed and start turning
circles and flips in the air till she almost throws herself
off the bed. Then she'll stop, get down on her elbows and
stick her butt in the air. We'll just stare her down till she
can't stand it and she'll lunge at one of us and try to play
bite us. (kids are actually running up/down the hall with her
right now. She'll stop when they turn to look at her and
get on her elbows and then put her booty in the air till
someone makes a move. HILARIOUS!
