[Silverbelle]

I thought this would be a fun thing to do as I have enjoyed following other like threads. I just hope I am doing it right.

I will start with a picture of Belle at 8 wks sitting on my lap the day we got her.
It was a 10 hr drive each way. She is a great traveler and a jewel to live with.

All thanks to her breeder she takes her bath and blow dry and feet shaved every week, all in stride.

Here is one week later at 9 weeks of age.

Now I am caught up with this pic taken today at 10 weeks of age. (2/5/21)

 

[Getting ready]

Beautiful,

You’re definitely doing it right! And what a dreamy poodle Belle is. High fives to her breeder for giving her such a great start to life.

 

[Rose n Poos]

I swear, I see a difference already. I think it might just be her expression. She knows she's home

what a pretty little poodle

 

[Mfmst]

Oh, my! Congratulations on your pretty Belle! Thank you for letting us watch her grow.

Update for Belle. She is 11 weeks and 11.6 lbs. I don't think she will be that big for a Standard.
She didn't get her bath this week, but did a quick budget cut and nail trim.

So pretty

I didn't realize how quickly these weeks go by. Belle is now 12 weeks. Just got her second set of vaccinations so now we will get out a bit more - if the weather clears up!
This week going to share our feeble attempts at table stacking. Some of them are hilarious. But she is getting the idea of what 'stand' might mean and repositioning her feet, etc.
She isn't very big, but she actually is growing slowly. She just had her nails dremeled, face and feet shaved and a bath and blow out. Hopefully, 'we' will get better at this - at least
we are having fun as we go and I hope Belle is, too.

Okay, that week went by fast! Belle is now 13 1/2 weeks and weighs 15.6 lbs. I realize she isn't going to be a large Spoo.
I got my shears today - Am trying to make a stab at looking like I know what I am doing. Mainly to get her used to the newness.
So here are a few pictures taken just today. She continues to delight in everything she does.

Nice job! How did she like it? Feet look great!

 

[Skylar]

What a beautiful girl.

 

[Silverbelle]

Thank you. She does well with my bumbling attempts, but today she seemed a bit ansy so I gave her what I call a 'budget cut'. ha

 

[Starla]

What a pretty girl with such a sweet face!

 

[Silverbelle]

Hi Starla, how are you doing? I think about you alot.
Tell me, you think my Belle still could be a Silverbelle? I don't see the same silver tones in her feet, but her face has certainly gotten more silver. Soooo very interesting.

She certainly looks silver to my untrained eye.
I miss my Starla constantly, as I cut up an apple for my kids (she loved apples!), as I change out the air filter covers (she discovered she could turn them off and on), just every single thing reminds me of how much she is missed. I’m having the hardest time in our family, but I guess that’s to be expected because she was already my dog, with me almost constantly.
