We are finally able to take her out for walks now and her legs have grown so she looks like a little puff ball on skinny little legs XD

She LOVES walking. When I say walking I really mean running every single direction to smell stuff other than the direction we’re actually walking in.

But she’s learning the “heel” command quite well now.

So we only have to stop every minute for sniff tests.

She’s taken to napping in the afternoon sun now it’s getting warm.

She’s got such a lot of personality for such a little dog and she LOVES meeting new people

She’s also terrified of new people so it makes walks quite hilarious. Walking her has brought us into some new situations as she’s a great conversation starter. Most of the time people are nice but there are some people who really overstep the personal space boundaries. I’m not a fan of people who just pat her without asking me first. That’s such a dangerous thing to do with a dog you’ve never met before. Strangers have no idea whether she bites or not *_* Some people have even come and just picked her up without asking permission which is all kinds of not cool. I could rant a lot more about this but let’s go back to the happy place of looking at puppy photos!

Her little ears have popped up completely now and she looks so mischievous!

The look totally suits her though because her personality is definitely that of a very clever trickster! Most days she’s smarter than me >_<

She knows how to get one over on James too >_>

They also have turned into partners in crime. I often look over to see this look of guilt:

She makes a really great scarf too.

I see her every day so I didn’t even realise how much she’s grown up until I was looking through the photos on my phone the other day. She’s so well behaved (most of the time) and even though she’s still only around 4.5 months old she’s growing into my perfect dog.

LOVE her face!

These photos are a little old but I’m going nuts with taking photos now while she’s growing up so I can document it all.

The cuddling hasn’t stopped either, she is a big cuddler. She loves to run and fetch her favorite toy then jump into my lap to eat it. She’s awesome at fetch!

In fact she’s great at jumping too! We noticed how much she loves to jump so James made her a jump track to do. I want to take her to agility classes, I think she would have so much fun!

Of course, she doesn’t make it quite every time XD

She likes to cuddle while we watch videos on the ipad.

She still loves strangers, terrible guard dog. If we ever get broken in to she’s going to lick the burglar to death. We had some visitors from Brisbane and she became so over excited that she wet herself >_<

Her favorite toy is the one that has slots for food.

I managed to get her to wear a bow though! We’re still working on whether it will actually stay on XD

She loved the new rug I made so much so that I’m going to make her a mini one. She really loves yarn!

Her introductions to the outside have been only through the window at the moment but soon she’ll be outside and walking on the leash like a champion!

She met the Lottie who lives in the mirror. She does not like EvilLottie at all. She gets very annoyed that she has to share her room with Evil Lottie.

Bergamot is quite jealous of all the attention Lottie’s getting at the moment. I think Lottie may wake up with pen marks all over her face from evil Bergamot one day.

This is the face she gives when caught being naughty:

And she makes an awesome pillow:

I don’t think there’s much point me explaining these any more, they’re all just adorable puppy photos!

Argh extreme love 😀 I know I post about her a lot but she’s brightened my life so much and every time I look at her it makes me happy! I’m teaching her a lot of new tricks at the moment, but I’m running out of ideas, what do you guys think I should teach next?

The “You didn’t see that right?” Lottie:

And playful Lottie:

This is training Lottie, she’s getting so good at her tricks!

And crazy puppy Lottie. The first one is what anyone who sits on the ground at our apartment sees right before getting licked to death.

Extreme love 😀
