Hanna Banana is at that gangly stage, all long skinny legs and ears that seem too big for her head. She now weighs 10.1 pounds and is 11.5" tall at the shoulder.

She loves to play fetch and tug, but most of all she loves meeting new people. Had her at the beach this week when it was fairly empty and she had a blast with a case of the zoomies. She is not afraid to get wet! The one thing she does not like is stairs, and that is too bad because the trails we hike the most in the Pinery Park are along the big dunes and there are oodles of stairs ( over 400 steps today). It is really quite funny as we have several big rocks ( 18" tall) in our yard and she does not hesitate to jump off those, but give her 3 regular steps and she is frozen at the top.

We really should be done with house training by now, and in fact were are getting whole days, sometimes back to back that are accident free - but then that gets followed by a day with 2 or 3 accidents. This phase will pass soon…

She really is the perfect dog for us - such a sweetie!

As soon as I saw this thread I thought "Yay! More cute puppie pictures!" You never disappoint, Hannah is as cute as ever!:yes:

Your comment about her not liking steps made me chuckle. When I would take my former sheltie, Dixie, out on hikes when she was a pup I would go running straight for a bridge to try to get her to follow. She, being a typical sheltie, would try to heard me, then as soon as we stepped foot on the bridge she'd refuse to go any further. It didn't matter what kind of bridge it was, wood, stone, brick, asphalt, short, long, wide, narrow, ect, they were all to be feared and hated. Then one day I went across a log to the other side of a small creek to look at something and left her with a friend on the other side. The person that had her dropped the leash accidentally, next thing I know she's walking across the log like a pro. She never had a problem with bridges after that. Silly puppies.:rolleyes2:
 
That's why I'm not pushing the issue - I know she is physically capable, and one day soon she's going to figure that out.
 
somehow Destin is a pro at stairs....
I don't have any in my house but my friend's place that we stayed at his first weekend has 3 steps to a landing and then more steps up to the deck to go into the house. he didn't have any problems at all- I was very impressed.

Hannah is still so cute:yes:
she'll get the hang of stairs- just needs motivation:winkgrin:
 
Thanks - I'm having fun taking pictures.

Actually at one point she went up about 3 steps, realized where she was standing, and ran back down. Too funny!
