FOURTEEN WEEKS OLD...
The last couple of weeks I have been so busy! Between traveling, working part time elsewhere, and unfortunately attending multiple family funerals, I have barely had time to photograph anything personal for myself. With so many photo shoots on the dock to edit, and so many hours in the office, I started to go a bit stir crazy these last few days. (There is only so much of Hulu garbage tv one can take!!) So Winston and I grabbed the camera and headed out. Despite what life throws at me, I have to remember to keep photographing for myself. Our everyday memories are the ones I want to always remember, because it's the little things in life that make life so beautiful.
Saturday Andy went to a family BBQ that didn't allow pets so Winston and I hung out at home for the afternoon, editing photos from the Maine Trip and exploring a new trail down the road. No adventure would be complete without a visit to the faucet! And to tell it who's boss!
It's sad to see the fuzzy puppy gone from our little Winston, but watching and photographing him growing up has been a pleasure. He has been such an easy puppy to have in our lives. Learning new things super quickly, keeping good manners, and not causing any trouble at all.
He truly has been a dream puppy. <3
It rained more last night then it has in the past two months. Buckets and buckets of rain for 12 hours straight. Winston experienced rolling thunder all night long, as well as his first power outage after we witnessed the transformer across the road being struck by lightning. He was a bit confused why we had turned out all the lights before bed time, but was content to curl up with Mr. Teddy Bear and sleep the night away. Not a peep was made! I guess Andy should stop rolling his eyes and calling me crazy for banging the pots and pans around to desensitize Winston to loud noises! He was a good puppy last night.
This morning we woke to most of our trails flooded with at least 4 inches of water and several trees down across the paths. It was fun to adventure through the trails to see which ones were passable for a short pup, and just how deep Winston was willing to swim! He quickly learned that the water trails had frogs everywhere and as I watched him attempt to herd two frogs in the same direction, I imagined it would be like watching us herd cats!
We stopped a few times along the way to pull the burrs out of Winston's fur, and in the dreamy light, we took some portraits. Lucky for me, Winston doesn't jump off from things, which means I can place him anywhere!
He was a happy, soggy puppy who slept for three hours once we got home! This allowed me to get more editing done and two more sessions from Maine almost complete! The balance between entertaining the puppy and getting office work done is getting easier and easier with every passing day!
8 weeks to 14 weeks. 6.5 lbs to 13.4 lbs.
Winston loves his wagon rides. He is quickly out growing this little red wagon. I think it's time we look for a Radio Flyer for him. <3
