Hi, I'm PURPLE. I'm a FEMALE! I was born at 11:51 AM on Thursday, 2/11, 2016. I'm growing fast!

Newborn: 12.5 oz.

3 days: 1 lb. 6 oz.

6 days old: I got my dewclaws removed today. I survived!

1 week: 2 lbs. 8 oz.

2 weeks: 4 lbs.

2/27/2016: It made the lady with the camera smile when I opened my mouth and licked that deworming medicine until it was gone.

I'm going to be an Aggie! A great family from College Station, TX picked and purchased me. They have a Chessie already. He's getting pretty old and they love the breed. They have four kids, two of them twins, that can't wait to love me. Did I mention I'm going to be an Aggie? Oh, and the daddy master says it is non-negotiable. My name is "Chief."

3 weeks: 5 lbs. 4 oz.

3/8/2016: Some may call it insanity, but I see it as compassion. It was dark outside. Like middle of the night dark. And we were hungry. We nursed our mama first. But this growling, this rumbling, this bottomless pit cried out in agony for "Mooorrre!"

Our dear mom--she loves us. She tried. But our nail-like claws and teeth have scratched up her warm cozy breasts where we could just live if she let us. She needed help. The lady with the camera and the man she likes to hug came to the rescue with "Puppy Soup" that filled the pit inside our stomachs. Did I mention it was 3:00 AM?

4 weeks: 7 lbs.

3/13/2016: No need to make a fuss. I obeyed and took my deworming meds right away. Somebody's gotta lead. May as well be me.

5 weeks: 9 lbs. 6 oz. (so I've been a little hungry . . . )

I'm loving life as an Aggie here with my people in College Station, TX. Growing up fast. Getting the royal treatment. Trying not to be tooooo rotten. But hey--at 11 months old, sometimes a pup can't help but act her age.
