Cousin Maddy

Sip

Harry has a new cousin: Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tim's fuzzy, 8-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog pup—Maddy.  The girls fell in love immediately upon meeting her.  Amabel wanted to take her home, of course.  That face!

Although Maddy looks bigger than Harry in this picture, she really isn't (she is 'only' 15 pounds compared to his 25).  But how long will it be, I wonder, until she surpasses him?  When both dogs are full grown, Maddy will be three times his size!  We haven't broken the news to Harry yet. . .

  1. I love the first photo with the water dripping. There is a Burmese Mountain dog in our neighborhood that we see out walking in the park. They are big, beautiful dogs. Your girls are lucky to be around puppies!

  2. Thanks, Jenny! I know—I'm so glad they get to be around puppies and dogs of all shapes and sizes. It's amazing how their confidence around animals has grown since we got Harry this summer!

  3. Puppies! (And don't worry Harry, you're a terrier so while he may be bigger than you, technically, you'll always be bigger in spirit!)

  4. Weight update: Maddy is 17.5 pounds as of this morning.

    I'll give Harry the message about his terrier spirit!
