Except for Erma, who I rescued at age nine, the other three have been with me since eight to ten weeks old. Chief will be twelve in November, and The Sisters, Bailey and Harrigan, will be nine in October.

While they’ve each grown and developed such amazing personalities, I have noticed so many poses, looks, or reactions from their young puppyhood years. Bailey’s is probably the most distinct because she’s not truly abandoned much of her puppyhood. And, I love it.

Here are some of my favorite poses or looks that they had as young pups and still have, today.
