Gracie makes her own dinner (video)...

I love this video of Grace. She is getting to be a handful and this video shows just what I mean. She is very curious and loves to get into things. We LOVE seeing her this active. It is such a big change from the day we brought her home (July 3). She could barely walk and had no interest in anything other than sleeping. If you get time, look at one of the first videos we took of her and you'll see what I mean. We are with her everyday so we don't see the differences as clearly as you all do. That's why I like to look at the 'old days' and see just how far she has come.
Her coat is shiny and she is finally growing in a new coat on her chest and underneath her chin. Her body had been conserving energy to keep the necessities running, i.e. heart, lungs, liver, kidneys...so her coat had suffered. You would never guess her past looking at her now. If you can, you have got to come see her this Saturday at the M & G. You will not believe how different she is. She's constantly busy and doesn't have as much time for cuddling (well, until she's tired...then she will find you and weave around your legs until you pick her up) so she's not as 'holdable' as she was at the last M & G. I can definitely see what Dr. Carroll was meaning by docking her tail for safety reasons. She's an accident waiting to happen with that thing waving around in the air! We are definitely Gracie-proofing the house so she can't get into anything that would hurt her.
We used to be able to scoop her up with one hand and tuck her under an arm to carry her. Now, she's a two-handed commitment and very wiggly. The girls are not going to be able to carry her around for much longer. That's a sad thought, they grow so fast! She had her first taste of ground beef and let me tell you, she's starting to remind me of a pirhanna! The combo of her needle-like baby teeth and the blindness turns her into a weapon when you are trying to feed her a treat that she doesn't get too often. She smells it and goes crazy! She is all over the place and when she gets near it, she just starts biting. I have yet another wound from that lesson learned. Moral: Put the food on the floor and tap by it so she can find it. Yellow caution tape is an option to be considered!
Enjoy the video!
