Java (Bella and Leo) turned 8 months old today. She is now 33.5 pounds and has been fluctuating between 32 and 34 pounds since she was 30 weeks old. At 7 months she started to back off of eating all her food and we started to reduce the amount slightly. Tango at 35 weeks was 47 pounds (Winter and Leo). Which is about his adult weight now.

 

Here are a few recent photos taken of the two of them the day they were groomed.  Sorry to send so many of them. I liked them all and could not decide which to send you! The groomer did a puppy clipping on Java, as she had mostly puppy hair with some longer adult hair coming in and she wanted to get it all one length for the winter rainy weather. Java adores playing in puddles and never misses an opportunity to jump and play in any she finds. She is quite content to play ball with herself, throwing it in the air and catching it or throwing it away from her and running after it. Tango usually joins in, but if he is not interested, she is fine on her own. She remains the guard dog of the house. Alerting whenever she thinks something is out of place. She can walk on her back legs for 6-8 steps with ease, which she does if she cannot see something and wants to get a better look 😊 We never trained her to do this.

 

I hope you and your family remain healthy and happy. Tango and Java bring us immense joy. They are loved and happy.

 

15 weeks and 15.6 pounds.

 

My husband took this today. I was on a walk with Tango and she was awaiting my return. 

​

I hope you continue to be safe from the fire.

Java is enjoying the ranch. Getting to know her home base better each day. She loves running around, but also knows her way back home. She is serious at play, eating and sleeping. Doing each with gusto! She loves cuddles. She is little ray of sunshine

Java is 13 weeks old and 13.4 pounds. Just took this photo of the two of them together.  This is not a posed photo.

Finally caught a photo of them together.  It only took three weeks  

 

Java is now 10 weeks old and weighs 9 pounds. Clearly she does not have a lack of toys. 😃 This is a portion of her toy box. She is doing great ! She loves being cuddled and, her legs are an accessory at this point. Traveling in my arms is just fine with her. It is harder than you might think to get photos like these as she is often right at my side or by my feet. We are continuing to do the wonderful training you started and expanding it. She loves her crate! Thank you for crate training! We have followed your recommendations about introducing our now 17 month old male Amazing Aussiedoodles, Tango to Java. We have continued to work with them separately each day, as well as together, to insure that Java bonds with each member of the family, both human and canine. And to insure that Tango does not feel displaced by Java. While this approach is taking longer, we hope that long term this will have added benefits. We love that she tilts her head from side to side when we talk to her. She is everything and more than we expected. What a sweetheart. 💖 

 

She is doing great! Loves food, so we are being very careful to follow your suggestions.  
 

Great at "downs" now.
 

Still working on Tango and Java's interactions.  She loves to start play fighting with him like he was her same size. So lots of time outs, treats, and positive reinforcement when they are calm and not playing.
 

 She will be 10 weeks on Friday.
 

She loves snuggling, which is awesome 
 

Thanks
