You Can't Buy Happiness

Whoever said

forgot little puppies.

This is a puppy? She doesn't look like a puppy to me. Nova is a big girl. Her paws are huge. Her ears are floppy and adorable. But this "puppy" is only 14 WEEKS old and weighs 30 pounds! She is gangly and awkward but very sweet and friendly. That is dirt on her nose as she decided to do a little digging. I watched her for two days while my son and his family went out of town.

As a teen, my first dog was a German Shepherd that I named Rommel. He was built like a tank but a gentle giant. People would cross the street when they saw me walking him. Funny…I have only had German bred dogs between the German Shepherd and 4 Mini Schnauzers.

My Sophie Belle looks more like a puppy to me because she only weighs five pounds. Though 14 YEARS old, she will always be the size of a puppy.

With those ears, you would wonder what difference it makes to put your head on one side? However we do cup our ear in some circumstances.

Nova is so big and a baby still. Crazy how big she's going to be. I would be afraid to have something running around that big in my house. I have a lot of glass objects. 😬 She's darling though. I love that she looks like a puppy even though she's so big already.

Many thanks for your support and comments. Nova was very fun but a full time job. I had to keep my eye on her to help with housebreaking and making sure she didn't chew things she wasn't suppose to be chewing on. I invited friends with dogs over for socializing too. Luckily it wasn't too hot so I could spend a lot of time with Nova outside. I predict she will grow up to be a 75-85 pound German Shepherd, if she already weighs 30 pounds at 15 weeks. :)
Puppy training will begin when she finishes all her shots.
