While we were in town we took Suzi to the park for lunch. Gator handled the leash like a pro!

Gator and Bailey love to play with empty plant containers!
They got their first shots yesterday. We were noticing that Bailey (who is larger) does not go down steps but Gator does now. The vet is concerned that she is growing too fast, and we have a mild food change. 1/2 puppie food and 1/2 adult dog food 2x per day. He thinks the growth plates in her hips are causing her discomfort and is concerned that if she grows too fast she will have hip problems when she gets older.
Bailey weighed in at 13lbs, and Gator is 11.5lbs.

Well yet another name update: On the left is Gator, and on the right is Bailey. Planning on getting ID tags today, so they are stuck with these names now... hmmm
I forgot to mention, the first week we had them we took them in for a well puppy check, Gator weighed in a 7lbs 4oz, and Bailey weighed in at 7lbs 14oz. When Gator sits, she holds her paws weird, almost like her wrist is double jointed. The vet said it is a hyper extended someting or other... not anything to worry about. In watching Bailey I think she does it mildly occasionaly...
They go back next week for their first shots.

I am having problems uploading photos, but thought I would put in an update.
I have been going on "herd" walks thru the property each day. A herd walk consists of ALL 6 pets, 4 dogs and 2 cats! It is quite amusing listening to Natasha cat yell at us to wait up.
2 days ago Gator decided to tackle Louis Cat. I think Gator was attempting to play with the cat the way she does with Jaws. We did play with naming Jaws Penelope the other day, but Samantha kept coming to it, then she would get mad at Jaws for invading her space… so we are back to Jaws. She is quite the cry baby. Gator is MUCH quieter!
They day we got them We stopped by and picked up 2 collars for them. They were quiet large on them, but they already fit nicely on the smallest setting. We think Jaws is going to be a lot larger than Gator.
