Kairo at 6.5 months

This “little” guy is not so little anymore :) I can’t believe how quickly the past few months have gone by with him… Kairo is 6.5 months old now & a little over 60 lbs! I thought it would be fun to share a few recent photos of him, since he is growing so quickly… He is incredibly sweet, playful, and expressive as you can see :)

Of course what these photos can’t show is the tremendous amounts of training & exercise we have put in in the last couple months… He knows 41 commands at this point (I have them all written down so I can keep track :) and loves to work & play. His german working lines mean that he is a bit more active & needs to work a bit more than the average dog (and that might be understating it), but even with the extra exercise & work he has added I can’t imagine life without him at this point! :)

Still working away over here on my craft room, in between working & walking the pup :) Hopefully I will have something to show for it soon! :)

Snow Storm

Just a few photos from the snowstorm this week… It was actually a pretty decent snowstorm by Seattle standards, along with some ice as well, and left us without power for over 16 hours. (By the time our power turned back on, it was 56 degrees F in our house – so we were quite glad when the heat kicked back in :) Anyways a few photos…While I am not a fan of the cold or snow, Kairo just absolutely loved it! It was like the world turned into one giant, frozen, teething toy just for him :) Our little snow puppy…

The deer looked beautiful against the snowy backdrop (although I don’t think they were fans)…

Hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are! (For those of you in the southern hemisphere, I am a bit jealous that you have summer right now :)

Our four little creatures

I did a little studio session for all 4 creatures in the house at the beginning of December. I had kind of planned on trying to send out Christmas cards, but I got sick & life got so busy. So instead I thought I would just blog these :)

Our sweet, energetic, playful Kairo…

Our darling, audacious, talkative Izze…

 

Our handsome, confident, caring Axel…

Our adorable, gregarious, lion Pounce…

And just in case you think we have 4 calm animals, Kairo is definitely still a crazy puppy & the cats don’t always cooperate :) There were a few outtakes…

(Although sometimes the outtakes end up being the most fun :)

Kairo has grown a bit since these photos & both of his ears now stick straight up, but I love these since they are the only studio photos I have had the chance to take of him so far :) I think these were also the first studio pics I have taken of Izze as well! I guess I need to get to taking more of everyone! :)
