She's gorgeous! What breed(s) is she? She's big!

She is a big girl. Your furniture looks way to nice for a puppy in the house. Had she received any training before you got her? Hope she makes a good running buddy.

She looks great. And she looks like she could probably eat Tater

Great looking dogs Shan. Don't run much with Penny till she is a year old. A dog's bone growth plates are still growing until they are a year old. Short runs should be ok. Talk to your vet. You need to toughen up her paws the same you get your legs and feet used to running.

Congratulations! I've always heard the pug/bulldog type dogs with the "smooshed in" faces don't do real well with long distances. Something about their breathing? I don't know... But have fun with her, and I hope Tater doesn't get squashed!

Did you know you were getting her or was it an x-mas surprise? She looks big. How big does she get? Would be nice to run with a dog. I run with the neighbor's lab sometimes and enjoy it, despite not really being a dog person. You need to get a some leather dog clothes. She looks like a motorcycle type dog.

We've been talking about getting another puppy since May - I finally found one DH agreed too. I'm guessing she will get bigger - maybe 20 more lbs. I'm not really sure though. Murphy - yeah they don't pant and sweat like normal dogs. She is FINIALLY coming out of her shell a little. I think it helps to have Tater to watch. For the last couple days I had to carry her 60lbs behind to the door to get her to go out. But she is much more willing now - guess she is learning to trust us. Even her puppy is coming back. I think she is going to be a really good dog. Murphy - yeah I definitely am seeing some of the high maintenance, but her personality is soo great that it kind of balances out. And I think once we get into a rhythm it will work itself out.
