4 months - 44 pounds - 20" tall

Bella had her first puppy kindergarten class last Thursday. She was her calm and reserved self for a majority of the time but did find a couple like-minded pups to befriend. Since most of the other puppies are so hyper she preferred the two quiet ones and the kids :) I was able to find a class that allows the whole family to participate in the training so Mason and Jeff are learning too! Mason did very well considering his excitement. Jeff learned some things and has to be more firm and consistent with Bella ;-) Of course she is the BIGGEST pup in the class but not the oldest... there are some adorable smaller breed pups the Mason would love to take home that are a few weeks older than Bella.

Teething is getting the best of Bella. Her mouth bothered her quite a bit over the weekend and she didn't eat well. We softened up her food and kept the ground turkey frozen for some comfort. But she's eating half of her normal amount. She's also having some soft stools. Her ears have also been at half mast. Typical teething woes. Poor baby! This too shall pass and she'll be back to her normal self only with her big girl teeth.
