I think it is a sign on how sweet she is going to be!

As for size...Arabella was the smallest of her litter and is now a big girl weighing in just over 70lbs. And yes she needs to lose a few, maybe 5 lbs. At about 4 mos Arabella still seemed small to me. My vet said she was probably going to be a small girl. Boy did she have us fooled! At about 1 yr I noticed she was as tall as my first girl, Star. It took her awhile to fill out, but she did. You'll find out how big she is going to be when she gets that big.
lol, i didn't see the gingerbread before! that's so cute- i'm sure that's all i will be able to see when i look at her nose from now on haha. i remember when tuff was a baby, all his pink spots kept changing and moving- it was neat to see how the colors on his face changed as he grew.

i guess with the weight i was just concerned about her being "the runt" and if there's any health issues she could have because of that. to be honest though, she looks like the perfect size to me- she just looks small when next to her larger white siblings... those guys are gonna be HUGE. they were all so cute, it was tough to leave

Thora is absolutely adorable and I don't know how you can wait until she can come home with you. I think I'd almost rather not know how cute she is!

yeah, we're very excited to bring her home. i think the time will actually go by pretty quick as we're pup-sitting my father-in-law's frenchie this week. 11 days and counting!

we were going through tuff's toy box last night picking out the old ratty stuff and setting aside his favorite toys to put away. it was all very bittersweet and emotional.

here's a short video of some pup footage. i wish it was better quality, but those little stinkers just don't sit still! also, this was before the breeder got there to tell me who's pup was who's, so i didn't know who to follow

hope this link works for you guys


thora is the naughty little girl chewing on my boot and trying to get into my purse lol.
