Our current "baby"

When we first got Cadie she was only 3 months old and she weighed 29 lbs. Now she is over 10 months old and weighs 80 lbs. Cadie is a full blooded Old English Sheep dog. She is our loving companion and we enjoy her immensely. She goes everywhere with us. Interestingly, she practices herding in spite of never having seen a herd of anything. She will gently nudge us or a visiting dog or little children to make them go where she thinks they should. Problem is, they don't necessarily need to go where she is herding them. Sheep dogs they say, are stubborn. Guess they have to be to make a herd of sheep or goats go where they need to go. Her stubbornness is reflected daily with us as she tries to get us to do something we are not ready or willing to do. She is a mess. Right now her fur is greater than 6 inches in length and will continue to grow until Spring at which time we will have her clipped to about 2 inches all over. This will mostly cause a weight loss of a few pounds and, boy, will she look different. We will post a before and after pic of her in April.
