2010-0521 - Second Vet Visit

Over the past two weeks it's been amazing to watch this little one actually grow before our very eyes!

When she arrived she was a very clumsy puppy, tripping over her own paws and stumbling up and down the single porch step. When she'd run to the porch, she'd invariably not understand the "step" and bump into it with her chest, then tumble up onto the porch. Now she comes running and makes that step like it was flat ground!



She loves running around in the front yard and making discoveries!



We can see her growing and decided to see if we could measure her height. Admittedly it's not the "neatest" attempt, but not too shabby for our first time! LOL



We're still working on the potty training, but it's getting better - or should I say "we" are getting better! LOL We're thinking that Joy's figuring her name is "No Bite" or just "No!"

She had her second vet visit today, getting her second round of puppy shots.

We were amazed at her new weight! Wow more than four pounds gained in two weeks! Larry says that's 50 percent of her weight gained in just two weeks!



While we waited to see the Doctor, Joy went around the corner and for a second was nose-to-nose with Nacho, the Animal Hospital mascot.



Nacho made a quick leap onto the bench and looked at Joy like she was just a pesky little kid -- which she is!

After her doctor visit - along with lots of words of praise for such a beautiful little girl and what a great personality and she's doing great! Andrea came in to clip Joy's nails and Joy just wiggled and squirmed with ... well "joy" when Andrea came into the room. Andrea's family raises Great Danes, their site is Andisdanes

2010-0530 - the powers that be at Blogger.com have a glitch were we are unable to copy/paste into our blogs... until they get this straightened out, I will be unable to post any images :( I'll be checking back twice a day to see how the progress to resolve this issue is coming along and as soon as it's resolved, I'll be adding new updates and images.
