Zepher Update

By now you may all know that my boyfriend and I have adopted a puppy and named her Zepher. We were told that she was going to be a Sheppard/Lab mix, however we think that she is some kind of Hound dog. Zepher is 7 months old now, still trips over her large paws, and weighs in at 50 lbs this week. But since she is still a puppy she's only going to get larger. After a battle of not wanting to have the dog sleep on the bed with us, this is what we found...


She isn't exactly sleeping on the bed with us but she does get up on the bed when we aren't looking. My boyfriend said, "We're going to loose this battle so we mise well give in". The next morning I find him in bed with the dog cuddled up close with her head resting on his chest.

3 month old puppy

Zepher is now 3 months old. I had to take her to the vet last week to get another booster shot and the vet told me that he thinks she will be bigger than he told me last time I was there. Still uncertain how big she is going to be, but I was told medium, now it's looking like she's going to be a large dog. She's weighing in at 20 pounds compared to the 8 lbs she was a month ago. Here she is with her new collar. The markings on her back keep changing.

Play time with her best friend who's a year old Great Dane. She's the size of his head!

Nap time with the toys.

Many of you have wanted to see what my puppy is growing up into. So far she has been a great companian to our home. She's overcome the potty training, and has learned to sit and laydown, walk on a leash, and come when she feels like it. I just love having her around. I can't wait to have her go swimming with us this summer. Hopefully she likes the water....

Meet Zepher

This is our new puppy Zepher. She's a 7 week old German Shepard mix that my boyfriend and I have adopted. This isn't her best photo, but it's only day one, and I'm sure there will be others. She's a handful romping around and chewing on anything that might not be her rope. Don't worry, I've hidden my shoes!

Getting A Puppy

This past year I've really been wanting to get a puppy. Now that I have a new house, and things are settling down, I think that we are ready to add to the family. I've always wanted a Weimaraner and think that after reading about this breed it's the perfect match for me. As you see these dogs love the camera. You may even remember seeing these beautiful dogs on Sesame Street with William Wegman's dogs Fay and Ray dressed up, or the puppies laying down in a pattern of a letter. William Wegman also has books and calendars of these spirited dogs. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these cuties!
