LisaCC Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I posted this in the Aussie thread, but here is Nova with his best mate Brock the greyhound for comparison. Nova is 10 months :) Top view to see how wide his ribs and butt is compared to Brockie! Edited March 29, 2014 by LisaCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dididog Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Wow he's gotten big! Our pups are the exact same age! Didi's quite similar she's got an XL car harness and that is going to be too tight soon, she's 26kg(maybe more now) and her head comes to about mid thigh at 5 and a half months. Out of nowhere she's turned from cute flabby puppy to a fit and muscly athlete, when she runs you can see all her muscles ripple and her hind legs are crazy!I must get a good photo of her standing up sometime soon.

Steph M Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Quick photo update as both beasts are sitting still. If you look in the corner you can see the remains of a shredded bed...ahem. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Puppy beast is driving me insane. Need ..to.. wear.. it.. out.. somehow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Has he learnt to swim yet? That tired out the fluff monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 We've got a few dams on the property that he loves. He also gets freerunning in the paddocks and runs with me in the forest. I'm doing couch to 5k ( one day I'll finish it) Normally i get him to do a few intervals pulling and then he gets to freerun.. Don't want to push him too much.. but then I'm SLOW! :laugh: (old photo is old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dididog Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nothing wears Didi out like the beach. She will literally just swim around you in circles for an hour if you let her and today we finally cracked the concept of fetch so now she can go far into the water without us getting wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I so can't wait to take Fritz to the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dididog Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 One time I went to the beach to actually swim and Didi followed me out to the deep end (I couldn't even touch the bottom) and decided I was a good option to climb on top of! She was only about 18kg at the time but still almost bloody drowned me silly puppy :laugh: I now stick to knee or thigh height water around her...

aliwake Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's so cool Lisa! Congratulations! Lovely to see so many nice pics of everyone's gorgeous big puppies :) Will have to see if I can find a niceish current pic... We had a new low this morning - I'd put a little pile of hair just outside the shower when I was washing my hair (so it wouldn't clog up the drain), and guess what? Yep, he ate it... Gross!!

LisaCC Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks guys :D Oh no Aliwake! Nova eats clumps of his own hair after I brush him if he gets to them before I do. Little freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It will be great getting some free food Lisa! Maybe this will be the start of a fruitful modelling career for Nova :) Yeah, Nix loves eating his own hair too. I can't believe he ate mine though! And he knew he was being naughty cos he did a runner when I tried to get it back! Then sat there munching away and staring at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Don't feel bad. Last night I bought 2kg of brown rice and ran to get the other shopping bag from the car and the black ninja took off with the rice and ate 2kg of rice on his own....I literally only worked it out this morning when he crapped pure rice. I was so confused, they looked like maggots! I saw the wrapper in his kennel on the way back in (to consult Dr Google and ask if worm eggs look like maggots, even though I know they don't...). He knew he'd done wrong over 24 hours later too. He was so sheepish before I even realised. Consequently someone missed breakie. Silence is truly the puppy owners nightmare. He was so delicate about it though, it was on the floor in a bag of other things (including meat? ) and he must have just grabbed it and gone without disturbing anything else.

aliwake Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 yes - they are so sneaky when getting up to mischief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well done Lisa! So awesome, Nova is such a pretty dog. Last night at agility I shamelessly stood as close as I could to the two aussies in my class. And then we have a red merle BC as well and I gave him big pats. Love my spots but by god I love merle dogs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks DDD :D Spots and splodges are pretty similar! I have the same affection We graduated up to Grade 2 in obedience tonight! Very proud of how Nova acted in the exam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 :laugh: mine's an honorary spot. When he was about 10 weeks a little girl and her mum walked past our front yard, saw Fritz and commented "oooh look mum a dalmation" I had to laugh. BUT! Man you should see his spots now.. Maybe he is one :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Willow turned 1 today. :) She got her presents on my birthday. A massage and a massive bull chew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
