I came home today to the barks of not one but two adult-sounding dogs. In this last month Elvis and his sister Presley (my friend's dog) have grown soooo much. Yesterday I realized his new collar was way too loose so I tightened it up. Today I had to loosen it again because he had literally grown overnight. A couple of days ago I saw him walk past his old playpen and suddenly realized he was now taller than it. I'm not sure whether it is just his age or the change to a better dog food that spawned all of this. I'm thinking the dog food has a lot to do with it. In fact, he now eats slower like a normal dog most of the time instead of trying to vacuum it all down as fast as he can.
Today I looked through my photos of him from back in May and he was sooooo small and so was Presley. I find it ironic that his birthday is the day before the anniversary of one of the most traumatic events of my life.
A few months ago I was in a book store and saw the book Marley and Me (yes the one the movie was based on). I saw in the middle there were pics of Marley. I realized that I needed to take more pics of our kids and pets. Then we got Elvis and I decided to take pics nearly every day. I slowed down on the pics over the last couple of months but we are still taking quite a few. If you have little kids or growing pets, take a lot of pictures because they really do grown faster than you will ever realize.
