Growing Pains

Ellie Stats: 7 months old, 80-ish lbs.

• Ellie’s been limping a lot. We think it’s growing pains and have been giving her half an aspirin to help with the pain.
• Probably related to the aspirin (and because Travis didn’t give her some food to go with it), Ellie threw up several times yesterday and overnight. She seems to be better today (haven’t given her any aspirin today) and so we gave her just a little bit of food to see how she keeps it down. So far so good…

LESSON LEARNED: Always give FOOD with aspirin!

Starting to Grow Up

Ellie Stats: 7 months old

• Ellie’s personality seems to be transitioning from puppy to adult. She’s been a little less playful all the time and a little calmer. Sleeping more; eating less.
• Ellie chewed up the kitchen rug. Apparently she still hasn’t learned that those are off limits…
