Millie, 3 months old

Miss Millie is getting really big and lanky, and she grows sweeter and more full of personality by the day. She is gaining 2-3 pounds a week, and at 3 months she is well over 20 pounds. We'll find out exactly how much she weighs at her next vet appointment on Nov. 19. Don't be fooled by the innocent face. She is well into her "terrible twos" and has to be watched and controlled constantly. She is teething aggressively, and if left unattended, will devour the house--furniture, clothing, baseboards, bath mats, etc. And she prefers human flesh as her personal teething implements; never mind that we've bought her more toys than our kids ever had. But she is completely potty trained--YAY!!--and has grown fond of her crate, which we use when we have to leave her alone in the house, or for "time out" when she gets too crazy. At night, she sleeps cuddled up next to me, and with the weather turning cooler, her warmth is welcome as long as she isn't jabbing her long legs into my back. Millie has definitely established her place in our family, and she is training us very well. The photo below was taken 11-3-07 at the dog park in Denton, where I take her to become more social with other dogs. She loves people, but she's still quite shy around other dogs.
