Lulu: 3 months old in September

The first full month that we had Lulu was filled with us taking her everywhere we could with us!  We read just how important it was it was to socialize her early on and how the critical period in development is from 8-12 weeks.  We started off by taking Lulu to to all of the kids' sports practices so she could be outside and also be exposed to kids.  We took her to the kids' school and let her be petted by multiple kids.  Lulu got to meet my parents' labradoodle Pumpkin twice in September and much to my delight they seemed to get along so well!  They ended up chasing each other around my sister's backyard.

Loving her bully stick-it is almost longer than her!

We enjoyed some really nice weather and we took Lulu to the park several times with us while the kids played on the playground.  We also took Lulu with us out to dinner a few times at couple of our favorite restaurants that had outdoor seating that allows dogs-Old Market Pub and Max's in Tigard.  Looking back at these pictures of Lulu, I can't believe how little she is and how much she has grown. I am glad that I have all these sweet pictures of her as a puppy!

Lulu found the kids' bean bag chairs and claimed them as her dog beds-she loves them still!
