Puppy Play

It's been awhile since I've done a Marley update. Well...she's big. Her back is about to my hips and her nose hits right about my belly button if she's holding her head level. She's finally starting to fill out a bit and put her food into filling out instead of growing up. I'm glad for that because when we bring her out in public, people always comment on how thin she is. The general public (read, non-big-dog owners/lovers) just isn't aware that big dogs put their first year's worth of food into growth and the second and additional growing years into filling out.

Our good friends (and Andy's cousin) recently got a mini dachshund puppy. Toby is 10 weeks old and the size of Marley's ear. Okay, maybe the size of both her ears put together. At softball last night we had both dogs there and it was night and day. So funny. Marley and Toby played and played throughout the game and had so much fun! We all had fun watching them, David and Goliath, while they play battled all evening.

Haha! That's hilarious! It's as if both dogs have no idea how big/small they are...they're just playing anyway. LOL.
