Izzy is growing. On 23 July, she was six months old. Her weight was about 57 pounds. But aside from size... which really means little because it wouldn't matter if she never grew another inch (LOL), she is developing into a fine dog. She has become something of a young lady, displaying a kind of grace and fortitude not generally seen in many other breeds.
Let's do some pictures...

As for size...

| Outgrowing her favorite chair |
She has had to adapt to simply not fitting as well in places and spaces she once called her own. Momma's chair, being one. The image above is a few weeks old so... the fit is even tighter now than when this one was snapped.
On a recent trip to a nearby state park, she was headlong into the lake, under the falls and finally, up on the rocks. We kept her tethered simply because this was her first encounter with water deeper than her legs. But she neither feared or a lacked of skill...

| On the rocks |
Upon arriving back home, she did not appreciate having her picture taken while still wet... and her hair less than sparkling white...

| No pictures please!!! |
By the end of the day, she was ready for a nap...
Izzy will be 7 months old on 23 August 2012.
