Thelma Lou is 6 months old!

 Our girl is six months old!

Time sure has been flying by with this sweet pup, and we cannot believe how much she has grown. The little baby we picked up in June weighed under 9lbs, and we are now around the 33lb mark! (Note to self: It's time to start lifting heavier weights at the gym!)

Life with Thelma Lou has definitely been an active one, which is exactly what we had hoped for. When planning for a new dog, we knew we wanted one that would challenge us and keep us moving as we age. She has done just that, and all three of us are better for it!

Her current favorite snacks are carrots, pumpkin, and banana. And she cannot live without her Woof pupcicle in birthday cake flavor! Talk about a pricey habit to get started on...yikes!

To celebrate her six month birthday, she went on her very first hike - we started her off with an easy and quick trail - Big Sink Trail at Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. She loved it!

She did so well on her first trail, we have quite a few more in the works for the fall and winter months. We have been using the All Trails app and love it!

She also got to visit her first pumpkin patch - which was a little too exciting for her! She picked out a great first pumpkin for herself, and we have it sitting on her food mat by her water dish.

She finished up her pumpkin patch visit by "driving" the pumpkin wagon around the property! 

We are so happy with this girl, and we think she feels the same about us!

We love you Thelma Lou!! Happy Six Months!
