Maude: Juvi Fish Butt

Today is Maude's 3-month birthday, and marks the start of what the books call her Juvenile period of development.  Evidently she's going to start being more independent and "bratty" (the book's word, not mine).  After giving her fish oil on her food to help prevent itchy skin, her butt also happens to now smells like fish.  So, we're playfully calling her "juvi-fish-butt"  :)

Here are a few snapshots of a week in the life of Maude:

Hmmm….something tells me it might be time for a bigger dog bed.  


Maude got a little ear shave at the vet yesterday after getting bit by a bigger, older Chocolate Lab.  Brian took her to our friend's house and our friend's roommate's dog, Gus, is a great dog, but a little uneasy around puppies.  They were playing fine for a while and then Gus snapped and chomped down her Maude's ear.  The vet said one of the punctures is just a millimeter away from a "gusher" spot, which would have just been a lot messier. Her little wounds are fine and she's now on antibiotics (again) to prevent infection.  (Floppy ears are prone to getting infected, we hear.)

Maude went for her first hike on Perseverence Trail today!

Maude thinks walks in Alaska are fun.
