Uh-oh. Abby's Getting Bigger

Mom and Dad took us on a hike yesterday (Mom only got minimal pictures - she promises to do better next time).


After the hike we stopped by the vet. I had to have my heartworm test done (I'm fine - Mom just likes to check once a year, even though we get heartworm meds regularly - she figures you can never be too safe) and Mom and Dad decided to get us weighed.

Me? I'm a lean, mean (okay, maybe not so mean) 57 pounds. Go me!

But my crazy monster sister? She's 46 pounds. 46?!? Hello! She's only 6 months old (well, not quite - she'll be 6 months in another week). I think Mom and Dad got a mutant puppy when they got this one. Hey. They used to test nuclear bombs in Utah. A mutant puppy could totally happen.

Needless to say, there has been much mutant puppy wrangling going on....

Oh crap. This mutant puppy is a MONSTER.

Good thing I'm quite elastic!

In other excitement, Flat Brutus has been spending some quality time with us. He hasn't made it on any hikes with us because it's been windy, and well, Flat Brutus is a bit of a lightweight, and Mom didn't want to lose him.

However, he got to frolic in the snow that we had at the beginning of the week. Yeah. Really. Snow.

And he's been dipping into the treats....

But he's easy-going, and a good guy to hang out with.

Mom and Dad have a local autocross on Monday; Abby (aka Mutant Puppy) and I will be staying home with Jessi, The Woman Who is Training Mom to Feed Us Turkey Hotdogs, but it sounds like Flat Brutus is going to get to go for some 'ride-alongs'. Mom promises to get pictures!

I love seeing your wrestling photos! I have to say, I'm with FB....dipping into the treat bag is much more fun than anything else. Will you see if you can find out his secret so I can give it a try?

Try sitting on Abby Fi - you must not, on any account, let her get bigger than you!

Our hu-dad has a mantra you might want to try. Every new pup to the house hears the hu-dad say, "I am bigger, stronger, faster, smarter - so don't try it." Only one of them is true, but it is all a psychological game.

BRUTUS said...

Brrrrr.... I'm cold just looking at Flat Brutus (once again, good thing he's laminated!). But I'd take his spot in a second if I got to dive into a bag of treats too! Love that photo, one of my favorites so far :) We're heading across Iowa on I-80 right now, Big Earl is feelin' good!

Hi, Fiona!
It won't be many more weeks when Abby will be your size!
Sure Flat Brutus is having a great time with you!
Happy Sunday!
Kisses and hugs

I KNEW she was a mutant. Poor Fiona. Do you think mom and dad know? Do you think she will ever stop growing? You might need a body guard soon.

Hey, I didn't know flat Brutus was visiting you. Cool. I hope he didn't mind that snow on his little belly too much.

Slobbers,
Mango

Please keep the snow away from us. We only like it in the mountains and it is finally beginning to melt there.

Let your mom know that she needs to stop feeding Abby, Fiona! You can't have her bigger than you!
Flat Brutus is lucky that he got to experience snow in May! We wish we could!
