First photo is age 8 weeks and the second is 10 weeks. As you can see, Zelda is getting so much taller!
She's really a great pup! She has bonded with me and the other furbabies. That tells me she has been raised in a loving environment.
I'll be happy when this unusual Southern arctic blast subsides so that we can get outside!
