Phoebe x Carbon v2.0 are 5 months old today!! Seems like just yesterday I flew to Portland, had THE BEST weekend with my friends and picked up munchkin barely 8 week old Sedona-dog... now she's got tail feathers and pants and a mane that I look at and drool over. She's got big dog teeth (the better to chomp on Kota's ruff!) and is turning into a big girl every day.
I weighed her last night and she's 21 pounds on the dot... by my guestimates, I think she'll be smaller than her mom at full maturity.... if she gets to 24 or 25 by 6 months I'll be happy... so maybe 28-29 MAYBE 30 at full maturity?? Now that I've said this, I have no idea how much mama Fleebee weighs... so.... *shrug* anyone??
She's a very elegant girl, nothing harsh about this dog at all... she moves smoothly and with ease and to look at her (when she'll stand still!) I melt. I'm so pleased with my pretty little tan pointed monsterdog. She's a riot to live with and LOVES her brother/nephew ;-) She DOES however, need training, and we actually have obed. class today, speaking of. She knows sit, down and stand, however, I haven't officially "trained" any of that with the exception of stand. I stand by the fact that this dog is the smartest I've had (maybe Ollie beats her, I dunno). With the exception of potty training, she's learned everything in less than 5 tries. Potty training, well... she's been really good and hasnt' made any messes in the house in well over a week... maybe two? She runs herself up against the vertical blinds at the back sliding door to let me know she has to go out. If we're in another room (like my bedroom), she'll jump onto the vertical blinds then look at me. VERY smart kid. It's her own little way... she figured it out all by herself and we both got the desired results :)
She looks very tube sock with legs right now, but hell, I'm not complaining. All the parts and pieces are there, they're just spread out and being 5 months old right now ;-) I will post 5 month old pictures this weekend... maybe after class I'll take some to post.
The weekly posting thing has passed, and now will be monthly for a little while ;-) (not to mention the "oh my god that's cute" photo tossed in for good measure).
Got my car estimate back from the body shop.... $7647.16
I called State Farm and told them given the amount of damage and the fact that the air bags didnt' deploy, I'm really nervous about getting the car back.... I dont' want a car with faulty airbags. I have had more than one person tell me to, no sooner than I get the car back, take it to Honda and trade it in on a new one. I'm feeling more and more inclined to do that, but I had really hoped to have done that in 08 when the new models came out. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe I just need to hold onto it... it should be fine, right? Afterall, it'll be basically brand new again.... ?? *sigh*
