How big? So big...

Warning: this post is dedicated entirely to the puppy. If you're sick of all the puppy talk, you might want to skip it.

Riley had her first puppy class on Tuesday night. It was kind of a surprise, since originally we had been told that puppy class started next week. But nope, it was this week so off we trekked with a bag full of hot dogs and a hyper little dog.

Riley had a great time at class. In her class there are: 3 golden retrievers, a lab, a shepherd mix, a chihuahua, a cavalier king charles spaniel, an american bulldog and a big black fluffy dog (darn it, what is that breed?). Many of the puppies are younger than Riley (one is only 12 weeks old) but a few are around the same age. Riley was very good. She still does everything she can to be the center of attention in the room (including trying to pounce on the puppies next to her and getting the whole room riled up) but she knows when she has to get serious about her training.

On another note, it has come to my attention that I keep saying how much the puppy has grown but have provided no evidence to support such claims. For the record, she weighed in at 20 pounds today at the vet (last vet appointment for shots-yeah!). When we got her, she was only 10 lbs. But for further proof, here are some before and afters of the puppy, from when we first got her to now.

Can you see how much bigger she's gotten? And she's so pretty, isn't she? Here is an attempt at a stack (I just walked her into it):


She's only getting cuter every day, too.
