Toby Thursday

It's amazing how fast our little pup is growing. When we picked him up at the Hunde Pension after our trip to the States, we hardly recognized him! Check out our big lug:



Not only did he add a few inches to his lean frame, but his feathers (hair) are growing like crazy. Here's part of his awesomely long tail:



(How much am I going to miss that spectacular green hotel carpet?! Hopefully we can find some of that for our new house.)

Not only are his tail feathers coming in nicely, but check out the dude's toe hair:



The lucky little guy doesn't need any hair products, all of that toe hair volume is au naturale.

In the photo above you may have noticed the startling image of Mally, Toby's beloved mallard. Before I can go any farther, please note:
Viewer discretion is advised. The following images are of a graphic nature.

Along with Toby's new height and long hair have come his adult teeth. This means no toy is safe! Unfortunately, poor Mally learned this the hard way:


The carnage!



Lame duck or not, Toby still loves him and is working hard, every day, on transforming Mally into a completely wingless duck.

Since Toby is no longer teething he is much more mellow and less likely to be found gnawing on a piece of furniture or my pink slippers. We love watching him grow into the goofy and handsome guy that he is!

What a guy! He's growing up so handsomely! Poor Mally, he can find some comfort in knowing he is so well loved (I hope!). XO
