First Swim

OMGosh... ok, It might only be funny to me... but I HAVE to post this...
Maxx and Kai-son LOVE going to the beach.... we go to our little local spots all the time... Well, I totally forgot I had these pictures!!!... These were taken the first weekend in October... it was a BEAUTIFUL day out.... we went to Slaughter Beach and Kai-son decided he wanted to follow Maxx out into the water... It was Kai-son's FIRST actual swim... ROFL... I truly believe he will need some more practice... He isn't real smooooooth yet... look at the splashes and the way he holds his head up!!!... Yet, just like Maxx, he didn't really want to come out of the water....

Maxx, very graceful


Kai-son... well, not so graceful... he is so friggin cute



Finally, he came out a very tired puppy....... just to...........

try and get Maxx to play some more... They love it when Nate throws stones in the water

Then and now

So much has gone on since I last blogged... when I'm actually able to sit and type some things on my mind... should be interesting if I receive any responses... for what time I have right now... just going to share some before and current pictures of Kai-son and Maxx.....
Kai-son is growing into a really great dog so far... I just am blown away by his size though.... When he first came home with us he never really seemed "puppy" size.... well, looking back through the photo's... Wow, I realize he really was "puppy" size considering how fast he's growing...
He will be 5 months old on November 1st... His weight as of October 11th was 82lbs.. Dr. Little says he is doing awesome!!...
I've been slacking in the photo department lately... so, forgive how plain the pictures seem... I just wanted a memory of the growing

some you've seen before, I just wanted an at a glance comparison

At 2 weeks.. taken by the breeder

My favorite by the front bench at 2 months old

Same bench at 4 months old--he wanted to play instead of pose... :)

Giving kisses to Maxx at 2 months old

Singing with Maxx at 4 months old

In Training

I'm so frustrated that I haven't taken the proper time to photograph Kai-son... None of these pictures seem to really show the bloodhound look that his face is developing... one day I'll capture it...
Here are a few attempts... but if you look through all the posts... he just changes so much... so many different sides to capture


And an updated one of Maxx
