Ms. Pie likes to bling herself up with a little Ode de Pine Needles on a regular basis. Some dandelion seeds and a sprig of cedar for good measure added today...

when Ava peaks over my book. I turn into a melty mass of gooey mush when she bats those calf-length eye lashes that frame her dark brown eyes... Avant Garde is a lotta Ava Gardner too.

Are growing up so very fast.

Nicole will be 19 the end of this month and Ava 5 months old on Saturday the 4th. Puppy girl has really matured since the image I took of her with Nicole for Week 3/52 when Ava was just 43 days old: www.flickr.com/photos/24877672@N06/8386375565/in/set-7215...

Ava gets to come out a lot with the big dogs and loves going places, she's our social butterfly. Baby girl looks and acts so much like her momma Nina it's amazing. Nina and Chase have been wonderful mentors for her.

Ava stats: 5 months old in 2 more days, 20.5" and 33.5 lb. of loveable, snugly lap dog

quick cell phone shot of Ava - she comes along now on our full day of training with the big dogs at the Arboretum and UofG once a week. She plays some with tracking, a little attention work, free stack and gaiting, bit of retrieving and gets to meet an assortment of people on campus.
She loves every minute of being out and about.

5/12/Nina - the look...

So very Nina. This is the looks she gives when she hears her name.
It's her 'you have my undivided attention" expression.

5/12/A/Piper - peak a boo...

she's scruffy, shaggy and headed for a shave and bath today.
She can just barely see out, again. Her hair grows so quickly!

4/12/Nina - enjoying spring

What's a girl to do but smile?

Her topknot hair has grown long enough to band up into 2 little horns so she can see again and Ava's been dropping teeth all over the place. She currently has no canines and a goofy toothless grin.
Her horns help hold up her halo so it's been slipping less often...

Ava stats: 20 week old, 20" tall, 33 lb. toothless wonder

it staggers me how much I love this young girl

toothless grin...

Challenge for this week in 52 Weeks for Dogs is "shoe".

Took this in the crazy (awful) bright light in the middle of a snow storm burst when the snow stopped coming down for a minute before it started blowing again. Ava has been working on her retrieve/hold and it's fun to throw a variety of things for her to pick up and bring back. She was game to pick up my daughter's purple shoe for a group challenge. Thank you, Ava!

Ava stats: 19 weeks old, 31.5 lbs, 20" of lean retrieving machine!
