We finally have the opportunity to raise a girl. And yes, she is as a big a pain in the rear as I thought a girl would be. We are too old for babies!!!!! Her name is Harley and she is feisty, hyper, cute and growing fast. She is a German Draahthar, so Jared hopes to use her to hunt birds. Her mom was a chocolate lab and English pointer mix and the dad was a purebred draahthar. She is as hard-wired for bird hunting as a dog can get!!! The boys love her and she is very spoiled. This picture was taken a few days after we got her. She has grown so much over the last few weeks it is amazing. Although we should not be surprised with how much she eats. I have never seen a dog eat as much as she does. She is already showing proficiency at fetching, pointing and tracking, so we have hope she will be a great bird dog. The training has not begun in earnest yet, but her days of being a pampered princess are numbered!!
