Learning and (kind of) growing

Minnie's a pretty small girl (when we got her she only weighed in at 6 lbs, even though she was 8 weeks old). This weekend we took Minnie to the vet, feeling confident that she weighed at least 10 lbs. She's been eating 3 meals a day, eating treats, and getting a little thicker (although we're not sure if it's fat or fur!), so we were sure she's made progress.  Unfortunately, she only gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks, and weighs in at about 8 lbs, which is pretty small for a 10 week old golden. The vet didn't seem to be concerned though, so we'll just keep doing what we're doing and make sure she stays healthy!


Other than that, little Minnie had a great weekend (minus the 2 shots she got!) She met some more new people, had plenty of backyard playtime on her own without getting in too much trouble, met a dog that weighs 10 times more than her, practiced "sit" and "fetch," ate dry food without the stinky wet food mixed in, and was accident free! She also seems to like climbing up on things (maybe she thinks she's a cat?) such as the dishwasher, kitchen drawers, the fireplace, and random furniture.


Minnie also seems to "sleep in" on the weekends until 6:30 am....but whenever the work week rolls in, she keeps waking us up between 4:30 and 5:45! Minnnieeeeeeee!


Something Minnie learned this weekend - she does NOT like the vacuum. Or the Shark floor steamer. But since she's the one causing the need for the vacuum and the steamer, she'll have to get used to it! :)
