Diamond meets her cousin Riley

My niece came for a visit the first week of July. She brought her Austrialian shepherd "Riley" for a visit. Riley is going on 2 years old. It was fun to watch them play. It was obvious that neither dog is "Alpha". I know Diamond enjoyed playing with her cousin. Riley was a little tired out from playing with two other dogs all weekend, but he still has enough left for Diamond. Take a look at the picassa web album.

5 MONTHS & 50 Pounds

Well, here we are at 5 months old. Diamond is now 50 lbs. She is gaining about 10 pounds a month! Her coat is getting much darker, especially through out her back. Her tail is starting to get bushy too! Her coat is still soft as ever! And she loves to be brushed! For more 5 month pictures visit our picassa web albums

I'm 4 months and 40 pounds!

June 1st came and Diamond is now 4 months old. She now weighs 40 pounds. The vet tech couldn't believe it. She gained 20 pounds in 2 months. She is losing baby teeth and getting her adult teeth. She is also losing her baby fur and getting her adolescent fur. The stripe down her back is literally darker everyday. She is getting longer too. It's amazing how fast she's growing.

I's 5 O'clock SomeWhere

Diamond picked the best spot in the yard to relax. She lays by the pond under a palm tree. She even gets a drink from a margarita glass. WHAT A LIFE!! May 2008 http://picasaweb.google.com/RenaMcCune/ItS5OClockSomewherehttp://picasaweb.google.com/RenaMcCune/ItS5OClockSomewhere

Diamond Has A Splashing Time!

After my 2 year old Sara was done playing in her baby pool, Diamond decided to take a turn. http://picasaweb.google.com/RenaMcCune/DiamondHasASplashingTime

My favorite things about Diamond

Well, of course, we think she's adorable, but there's a lot more. She is the most gentle puppy I ever played with. Her little puppy knipping is so gentle. Which is great for the kids. Of course, we are still teaching her "No Bitting". Next, she is lovable, but independent. She can occupy herself. I'm hoping she can teach this trait to 2 of my 3 kids. She likes to play, but doesn't need constant attention. (Except for the housebreaking), which she is doing very well with now. She is excellant with our cat. She wants to play with her, but knows her limits. She does well in her crate. Sleeps all night with no accidents. I could go on and on, but my needy children are calling. Better to be needed though I guess, pretty soon they won't want to have mom around, and Diamond and Tabby will be the only ones who want me around.

Diamond like to splash

Diamond likes to not only drink water, but likes to put her paws in her water dish and splash it out. Creates quite a mess. Guess, I'll get her a baby pool this summer and let her and my 2 year old have splash wars!
