Today is a Friday, 22 March 2013. On Angel’s 11th-month birthday on Wednesday, the wonderful & very caring girls – can  I say that – at the Santa Clara Pet Hospital weighed Angel at 74 lbs. & 7 oz.

A gain of only 7 oz. in 2 weeks, so her rapid growth is slowing. Given that Angel is now almost double her weight of 40+ pounds when Lori first brought her home last fall  – October, I think.

Lori hopes Angel can stay at about 80 lbs., which is a healthy weight for a “smaller” female Rottweiler. The vet says that big dogs “mature” at 18 months, rather than 12, so “Stay tuned,” as old-time tv used to say…

Anyway, these 3 photos are from this afternoon, just before Angel met up with her best friend, Axel, an Alaskan Husky that initially outweighed Angel by at least 15 lbs. Those days are long gone, although I do have a short video of then & will post as soon as I learn how WordPress allows that.

I see that I’m at twice the my self-imposed limit of 100 words.

Always trust what you see, rather than what is said.

I think Buffalo Bob – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bob_Smith –  was the first to say that…
