Mira Update!

Shaina · 10-10-2009, 09:23 AM

Okay these pictures are actually a week old, I just haven't gotten them up until now. It's amazing how much she's changed in a week!

My camera died when I got to the park last Monday. It had been making funny sounds for a few days and I think the motor that moves the lens died. In any event, getting it repaired would cost more than the camera is worth and take a while...but fear not! A new camera is on its way and will be here soon (but not soon enough!).

*ETA: Kim is now racing in zoomy-circles around the basement with Mira hot on her heels (taking shortcuts and ducking under things to keep up). I was laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes. I swear Kim's as much of a puppy as Mira is...she loooooves fun.

Anyway... enjoy!

*nom nom* "I got you now, monkey-raccoon!"

"Mine!"

"I got you! You'll never escape!"
*Kim keeps walking without missing a beat*

"Come out come out, Breakfast, I know you're in there..."

*more*

Checking out the fountain:

Practicing her "I get whatever I want" head tilt:

and Cricket-Hunting:

It is good to be a puppy lol

The "get whatever I want" photo is just adorable!!! She is just so beautiful!

DJsMom · 10-10-2009, 09:45 AM

Oh, those are great photos! She's adorable & certainly looks like one very happy, healthy little romper!

I didn't know you had a dog named Mira. She's adorable though, goodness gracious what a cutie!

Shaina · 10-10-2009, 11:53 AM

Thanks all

Pickles -- she has only been with us for two weeks. Check out my other recent pic threads for the whole story lol.

I *really* need to get on my signature...but I'm waiting to get the pic I want to use which is tough since I'm waiting for my camera to arrive lol.

Great pics! Mira looks so well-behaved. I don't think I let Blizzard off-leash until he was a lot older.

Renoman · 10-10-2009, 01:00 PM

I hope that camera comes quickly.... Mira's growing up fast and we're gonna miss it!!

She certainly is adorable and obviously knows how to use it.

What camera did you end up getting?

FWIW she will be constantly assessed as she gets older and more mobile. If there is a shadow of a doubt at any time she will go on a long lead. This park, however, is huge and surrounded by a school, a housing divisions (whose backyards are all fenced, thus fencing two sides), and a large field so it would be a good 1/4+ mile dash to the nearest road.

She knows how to work the system lol.

Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. Basically the newer version of the one I had. I would have loved to finally get my dSLR but...let's just say we're called Cheesehead "Cam" this week

Michiyo-Fir · 10-11-2009, 01:07 AM

She's been to a lot of places in such a short time! Looks like she's enjoying every minute of her trips! Kim looks like she's having fun too =)

Shaina · 10-13-2009, 04:39 PM

Still waiting on my new camera...and Mira's growing so fast I had to adjust her harness for the third time already

She went with me to a conformation show the other day and there was a 16 week old Flatcoat there, also for socialization. They were both ecstatic to see another Flatcoat and played with one another for about 45 minutes because we parted ways. This from a puppy who has confidently disregarded every other puppy she has met up til now. Breedist little girl

Princess Cheeseface (Mira Mira On The Wall...) is just past 5 months old now...and growing like a weed

There are a bunch of picture forum threads out there featuring her, but I wanted to add a few new pics here to see how much she's changed (a lot!). She is now affectionately known as Princess "Spider Monkey" Cheeseface

Spider Monkey's puppy grace (and the reason for her latest nickname):

So much for crating at night...she's now taking over the bed:

How Mira feels about down-stays (she hides her feelings with such royal dignity):

that's it for now...

ioreks_mom · 12-21-2009, 04:49 PM

She is a beauty for sure! She is really growing. I think that maybe Brom has just a little touch of Miss Spider Monkey (for the legs) and Mr. Webster (for the ears!). Haha! Isn't it cute how they change as they are growing!

Hallie · 12-21-2009, 05:47 PM

She's so cute! I think the legs suit her

I can't believe how much she's grown!

alphadoginthehouse · 12-21-2009, 06:13 PM

I almost missed the tongue on the "stay" picture...

rosemaryninja · 12-21-2009, 06:14 PM

Oh my gosh, how did she already enter that lanky long-legged stage?? I thought she would always be a little ball of fluff...
