Well I just realized I haven't been on here in FOREVER! Things have been going so well with both of my two. Benji is now 42lbs and not quite 5mos yet! Meega seems to be maintaining 60lbs and looks fantastic. Her coat is nice and shiny although we are shedding right now, it's that time of year. So without any further ado here are a ton of photos as I got a new camera!

I just noticed Meega looks extra skinny here, when she's been running more she will flux a bit on her weight. This is a bit skinnier than she is at other times. | |

Hi Emily,
Just turned on the computer & saw your pics. Wow, they are great. Meega looks so well & happy & Benji; well he has grown so much & only 5 months. What a gorgeous boy he is. They looks like great friends. Thankyou so much for posting them. I'm sure everyone else here will love them also.
Lynn & girls.

Thanks Lynn. Meega is doing fantastic! They are great friends, Meega "protects" Benji from Tucker (parent's dog) if he plays too rough i.e. Benji is on the bottom. Mind you Tucker is only 50lbs and Benji usually has it coming and they are playing, and usually Tucker is on his back! | |

HI Emily ~ I is SO nice to hear from you and thrilled to read that Meega is doing so well. Meega and Benji look great and WOW... has Benji grown...I love the picture of the close-up of Meega... she's got that "pleasantly satisfied" look in her eyes... and the pic of Benji walking.... he is so big now... and Meega protects him?! Such a good protective "mom"! | |

Thanks Olesia, Meega is just miss happy all the time. She thinks she must protect him it's quite funny. I keep telling her he doesn't need it and will have quite a bit of weight on her soon. We also have started feeding Orijen LB Puppy to both Meega and Benji and both are doing great on it. I little bit of gas for both of them but no loose stools! | |

He really is just growing up so much before my eyes it's crazy. I can't believe he's already over 40lbs! He's still very much a puppy though and is passed out right now. I am trying to do more since I finally have a new camera. Things sometimes just get busy. | |
