Mom weighed him today and he's a whopping 45.5 pounds.
She also weighed me just to compare and I'm a dainty 54 pounds! The little porker is only a few pounds lighter than I am!
Mom also measured our heights.
Mom also measured our heights.
Mitch is 21 3/4 - 22" to the withers.
I'm 23 3/4 - 24" to the withers.
Mom measure Mitch's paw. I swear he has the BIGGEST feet! His front paw measures 3" across and mine is only 2 3/4". I hope he never steps on me!
The length of Mitch's tail is 5". He got cheated! Someone docked it way too short! hehehehe The length of my tail is 9" - the perfect length for a perfect girl!Mom also measured our neck sizes. Mitch's neck measures 14 3/4" and mine is only 1/4" larger and I'm almost 9 years old! Do you think this brat will ever stop growing?
Mom presented Mitch with a big boy collar for his 6-month mini-birthday! The collar is not red - it's a reddish brown but the picture is making it look red. He really looks pretty handsome in it! He's a lucky boy! I didn't get my fancy collar till I was a lot older! I guess you know who's more special!
It's got a pretty brass plate on it with Mitch's name and our telephone number just in case (God forbid) Mitch ever got lost! At least he can call home and tell mom to come and pick him up.
He also got a small pressie to mark the special occassion. It's a Nylabone BarBChew Rib Rack! He has yet to put it down so I can check it out!
Hey, that looks kinda yummy! Can I have a taste too?
Yea sure! Even though he's officially six months old he still hasn't learned how to share yet!Dad took us out for ice cream too to celebrate Mitch's big day!
Here he comes! I can hardly wait! Today's flavor was peanut butter yogurt! yummy!
Hey, it's my birthday! I get the most - not you!
Just to let you all know - Mitch never had to wear the dreaded lampshade after his neuter surgery! He never once abused his stitches so mom never had to figure out how to use the darn cone thing! We'll be storing it on the top shelf in the closet just in case it will be needed for some other occassion!
Until next time.............
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Happy happy 6 month barkday, Mitch! He's so cute and such a big boy! So are you, Maggie - cute! We're proud of Mitch for doing so well with his ouchie and not having to wear the cone head. That's exactly how it went down with us too. We have our cone head stored in the garage. We hope never to see it again. Your new collar is very lovely and having your name and phone number on it is very important.
ReplyDeleteHappy Barkday Mitch!!! What a big boy you are! Heck, if he stepping on me I'd probably be a little squishy Ruby (I'm only 16lbs you know!) PB yogurt...yum. I need to get me some of that!
ReplyDeleteLots of Licks, Ruby

Happy 6 month birtday Mitch! You sound like you are going to be a big boy. You can then protect your sister Maggie from all the bad people out there.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you went through your boy bits surgery well. You are lucky you didn't have to wear the lampshade. I had to wear it for a week.

Oh Mitch, you're a MASSIVE well not really, a BIG boy now! You're only 6 months but yet you're already big! Woh, you're catching up...

ReplyDeleteHappy Belated 6 Month Birthday Mitch! You are such a clever boy to avoid ever wearing the e-Collar (I call it my satellite dish)..
ReplyDeleteHappy 6 months Mitch!!! You're a BIG BOY, all the Airegirls are gonna LOVE you!!!! It's ok Maggie, the boys are supposed to be bigger than the girls... usually!
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm really, really happy you didn't have to wear the cone... :)

Wow, Mitch is a big boy now! Helios is still lighter and smaller than me... but I fear not for long!
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask you - where did you guys get the cool tail-wagging Airedale icon on your page? Is that you, Mags?
ReplyDeleteYour personal goober,

Mitch sure is cute - but not as cute as you sweet Maggie :)

Opy
Listen, Maggie, you gotta get control of that boy,he's obviously going to be way bigger than you. But we girls sure no how to manipulate situations so I'm counting on you. You can start by getting that Nylabone away from him.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad that Mitch is recovering real well. Sorry that We have been real busy and we have been checking out your blog as often as we want too. But we will always think of you.
ReplyDeleteHappy 6mths, Mitch!

ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I want to bite Mitch's cute little feet? I get the urge to do it to Cleveland's ears too sometimes when he's being cute. Heheh.
