: My Suzy Q is starting to like to be snuggled
: happyflower March 18, 2009, 07:15:04 AM
When she was younger it seemed like maybe there was just too much to explore, she just wouldn't let me hold her maybe she didn't want to stay still and was doing that bite thing when I wanted to pet her.

She is just over 4 mo. old and a lot of her teeth have come in, and seems to not need to chew so much or be as nippy.  Plus she comes up to me and wants attention now. ;D  Which I totally love!  I thought it was me or something. ::) I want to add more pictures, but I keep getting an error message that the photos are too big.  But they are on my blog!

She also had her first steak bone.  I took it away when it got too little but boy was she in heaven. 

Then she has also discovered my koi pond with the waterfall and fish.  Boy am I in trouble :o  She thinks she is in Disney World or something! haha

my newfie is 4 mo. and weighed in at 30 lbs,  but she is on puppy food for large breeds which don't allow the puppy to grow too fast.

DO you all think my newfie is underweight?  I know her mom was 120lbs. and her dad 140lbs.  I am starting to get worried now.

I wouldn't worry too much.  Fargo and Sadie didn't hit their growth spurts until they were 6 months old.  They've really shot up since then.

newfs can also grow and mature at different rates!!  some reach most of their growth by one some take up to 3 or longer.

Okay I will relax!  Because I know she would eat the entire bag of food if I let her!

What a sweet little face she has. There's nothing like cuddling with a happy dog (or 2)  :D ;)
