You won't believe how much I've grown!

Look at me!

See how big I am now?

That's me with my Dad in the back garden. Soon I'll be able to reach the top of the fence!

I've grown so big I've had to have a new collar and harness. Don't you think I look smart? Mum and Dad took me to the pet shop to get it fitted.

And just look how big I am - I think my head is bigger than Mum's already!

Must be all my brains!

I'm not really supposed to be sitting on the chairs! I won't fit in this one much longer anyway!

Do you want to know what the best thing is about getting to be a big girl?

I'll tell you...

I'M ALLOWED TO GO ON WALKS WITHOUT MY LEAD ON!!!

I've been having so much fun!

AND

I get lots of extra treats like chicken and sausage!

Mum uses them as bribery (as if I need bribing!) to make sure I come when she calls me!

I usually do anyway....

Unless of course there's something more interesting than sausages and chicken...

Yesterday I decided not to come when Mum called me 'cos I wanted to lick a man who was lying on the grass reading a book by the lake! 

And then we met some people having a picnic so I decided I'd go see what they had to eat.

They didn't mind. I did a beautiful 'sit' and 'down' for them. The lady wanted to give me a biscuit but Mum said NO! She said I have to learn NOT to go jumping on people.

It's hardly MY fault if they go lying down on the grass is it?

A girl can only resist so much temptation!
