Summer Growth Spurt

We first met Shadow on the 5th of July...so cute, so chubby, so SMALL. He was the same size as our little kittens...about 4 lbs.

That SMALL bit...it didn't last very long.

Here he is one month later in August...the SAME size as Suzy, about 17 lbs. She's still in shock and not quite sure she likes it. She's gotten very spunky lately, trying to prove that she's still the queen bee.

Here he is THIS month, right after his bath...yup, in just two short months, our little bundle has become a BIG bundle, and it's just the beginning, I'm sure. Check out the size of those paws.

One cat says to the other...How did THAT happen?
He has taken on the role of protector - he won't go to bed until all of the other animals are in the barn. He makes us laugh with his funny ears. He's part German Shepherd, part black Lab...and the ears can't decide if they want to flop over like a Lab or point up like a Shepherd. We love you, Shadow!
