Then and now....

[Hee Yung Lee]

How about sharing pictures of our dogs as puppies next to how they look now so we can see how they have grown up. :D

Here is Bogart at about 9 weeks

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/schu0710/then.jpg

Here he is almost all grown up (not quite recent, but you can see the comparison from the pillows-same pillows just different pillow cases)

[Alberta Hanko]

Great idea--I am going to try it now, after reading all of your helpful suggestions. Bogart is adorable--I also loved the picture contest--the hardest thing was definitely voting.

Linus at right around 6 months, when I first adopted him.

Linus over the winter--three years old.

Hope this works!

Alberta & Linus

[Krista Winegardener]

Your photos are so gorgeous.Bogart and Linus are adorable.Isn't it amazing when you look at them now and remember how little they once were!

I really like the idea of this thread,so here is my feeble contribution...How did you manage to post such good-sized,clear pictures of your dogs?Sorry if this exact subject has been discussed elsewhere-I should look before I ask but I don't remember seeing it on here.Every time I try to re-size my pics,they get blurrier if I make them bigger and the least blurry(and not too great) images are pretty small.I guess I need to invest in some software instead of using the free thing I'm using to compress my pics? My more recent photos are so wide they come out super blurry.

This is my dog Misha at about 12 weeks with my cat Pocono.They've been buddies from the start.The second pic is Misha at about 6 months trying to share the chair with Pocono.She's bigger now and no longer fits on that chair but she looks the same.

I'll have to post them tomorrow, I have my baby pictures at home!!!!!

[MutzzysMom]

I think Mutzzy has changed quite a bit. She has lost the brown patches around her eyes...I wonder why?
Here she is when we got her around 12 weeks
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/xofrancescaxo/babybasket.jpg

And here she is presently at 14 months

[Jill Ramsey]

That didn't work either. sorry! :cry:

I'm trying again.

[Hee Yung Lee]

Oh my gosh!!! I love how these wide eyed, chubby faced, fuzz heads :) grow up into mature adults. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see more! :D

[Andre Mendizabal]

A little late but here is my Nala:

3 month old little cute Nala:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/andream77/BabyNala.jpg


11 month old really grown Nala:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/andream77/BigNala.jpg

You can hardly tell both are the same dogs.... she changed A LOT!!!!!!!

[Jill Ramsey]

Wow!! Her fur was really dark when she was little. She's still beautiful!!

[Andre Mendizabal]

Yeah, when I first got her she was almost completely black and white, but she has lost A LOT of her black hair and now she has a beautiful red-brown fur... she is still loosing black hair from her back!!!! :roll:

[Jill Ramsey]

I get black hair from Finnegan all the time. Ha Ha!! Actually, it surprises me, he doesn't shed that much. I was petting a yellow lab about the same age at our dog club last night, and the hair was just flying! I find hair on the floor and on his beds, but there isn't any flying around when you pet him. :wink:

[Andre Mendizabal]

:P I do get a lot of black and white hairs flying around when I pet her, well, sometimes more and sometimes less... but we have to brush her everyday or we'll get flying hairs all over the place!!!! :roll: You know, all dogs lost their baby faces when grown, but Audrey still looks like a baby, she's so cute!!! I wish mine kept her baby looks!!! (and smell 8) )

[imported_Susie Zetlmeisl]

Here's Morgan at about 8 weeks
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/sreluzco/jamaicamorgan033.jpg

Here she is today at 15 months
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/sreluzco/HPIM0151.jpg

It's so easy to forget how small they once were!

[Eric Vecc]

Look at the resemblance of Morgan and Bailey!!!

Here is Bailey at 9 weeks!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/evecchiola/Picture_0762.jpg

And here is Bailey at 6 months (or 24 weeks)!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/evecchiola/Picture_0914.jpg

[Cecile Vargo]

Here's Maggie Moore at 6 weeks old. She was so tiny we had to use my aerobic stair stepper so she could get up and down our overly large patio steps. In the second picture she is about 11 months old. Note her head is probaly bigger than she was then!

[Missy Stewart]

Here is my baby JRT Sonny!! He is around 8 weeks in this pic!

http://www.jackrussells.com/jrophotos/albums/userpics/a.jpg

Here is another one of him as a pup in his ducky bathrobe!

http://www.jackrussells.com/jrophotos/albums/userpics/b.jpg

And here is my baby at 1 year!! All grown up! He put on his flying nun ears for this pic! :wink:

http://www.jackrussells.com/jrophotos/albums/userpics/c.jpg

As you can see, he is still a little guy. He weighed just under 2 pounds when we bought him at 8 weeks. Last week he weighed in at the vets office at 14 pounds!!! Don't let his size fool you though... he thinks he is Napoleon :wink:

[Sarah Moore]

Here is Teddy at 6 months when we adopted him (he is the only dog we adopted as a young puppy):
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y46/princessbuttercup3/100_0001.jpg
And here he is now, at 1 year (and 40 pounds later)

[Justine Archuleta]

This makes me sad. I wish that they could stay puppies forever. I do not have any pictures of Blackie since he is a rescue. We got him when he was 2 years old. All of these pictures are really cool to see though.

[Mario Niepel]

Here are Jake and his littermate Chuska (my sister in law's dog) when they were 7 weeks and 8 years old.

[Justine Archuleta]

Mario they were so cute when they were puppies!!

[Mario Niepel]

Mario they were so cute when they were puppies!!

OOh, I know. My girlfriend actually got to meet the whole litter (9 puppies) when they were only two days old! It was practically impossible to chose. :)

[Jill Ramsey]

Mario,
I know what you mean. I saw Finnegan's litter when it was 2 days old. We got to choose at 4 weeks. It was hard even then. Luckily, we wanted a male, so that reduced the choices. I think we got the best one!! :D I went to the same breeder on Saturday to look at some puppies, and the parents, and took Finn. The breeder was really impressed by him.

[Clair Taberner]

hope this works:D
she was 8wks old and only weighed 7kg and so cute a bundle of fluff!

[Krysta Smith]

I keep trying to put up Lola's pics but it doesn't seem to be working. So here I go again...

this is Lola soon after I brought her home when she was only 3 1/2 pounds:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/thelttlmrmaid/Lolapuppy.jpg

and here she is now at 14 pounds:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/thelttlmrmaid/Lolaplayingface.jpg

[Jill Ramsey]

Krysta,
Love the eyes.


Claire,
They are so cute.

[Karen Jones]

I love all the pictures! I don't have any puppy pictures of Maggie, as she was a rescue, too--we got her 6 months ago when she was about 1 1/2 years old. I can just imagine how cute she must have been when she was a puppy!
Karen
Here's a picture taken soon after we got her--you can see where her whole leg had been shaved for an operation she had on her hip, just before we adopted her. It took about 5 months for the fur to really grow back!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/Karen24/Maggie_2.jpg
And here's a more recent picture--she's filled out a bit!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/Karen24/Maggie2.jpg

[Chris Smith]

I love everyone's before and after pics...they are so fun to see. I don't have any to show of Nalu. I got him as a rescue at 4 months and he is about 7 1/2 months now so although there is definite growth and change, it is pretty subtle in the pictures I have. The most noteable difference to me is in his "look". When I got him he was scrawny with skinny limbs, matted hair, just a few teeth and a tough look and narrow face. And he had real bad kennel cough so he had a rough voice and constant cough. He looked like a street kid.

Now he is filled out all over with fluffy, wavy fur and a soft and curious face. And his voice is strong and clear.

[Clair Taberner]

hee, what a great idea! i love seeing the pics of all us member's dogs, it's like putting faces to names:D

[Andre Mendizabal]

You're right Clair, its always easier to remember faces than names, so now its easier to relate dog-owner... for example, now I know that Clair is the one that has the white big dog and the small dark dog... Jill has the beautiful black lab... Hee has the bulldog, etc... :D
Oh... and Eric has the bone-eater beautiful Bailey!!!

[Clair Taberner]

hey, that could be bailey's stage name u could just imagine..... And now ladies n gentlmen, tremble in yr seats as Bone-eater Bailey enters the ring! and that is a cute pic of him too:)

[Maria Juliano]

Thanks Andre-- I must confess: as much as I love all breeds of dogs, I melt when I see Shih Tzu. :bow: They have addicting personalities, that's why I ended up being the proud parent of 2! :wiggle:

[Amy Siggers]

Hi and welcome Amy and Cassie!!

a shih tzu camp??? Really?? Cassie is SOOO spoiled that I have her here at work with me today because it is storming and I couldnt leave her at home alone and scared.. I have a great boss! I have to take her to the vet today to get her eyes checked out though- her face stays SOAKING WET and man does she ever STINK!!! I know its her eyes running but they dont know if she has allergies or if hte hairs in her eyelids are sticking into her eyes.. Any suggestions on how to keep her face from stinking? I have done alot of reading and tried the baby wipes her groomer suggested and NOTHING is working.. She is a playful cuddle bug but when she gets into your face the smell turns your stomach! Please help!!

[Amy Siggers]

Thanks Andre-- I must confess: as much as I love all breeds of dogs, I melt when I see Shih Tzu. :bow: They have addicting personalities, that's why I ended up being the proud parent of 2! :wiggle:


And yours are GORGEOUS! They look alot like Cassie! Of course she is starting to get some brown in her.. strange.. lol

[Maria Juliano]

Amy--thanks, they are all gorgeous indeed. As for Cassie's wet, smelly face...Do me a favor since this is the last page of this thread, GO the PUPPIES TOPIC to see my reply.

Chris,
Did Nalu already have his name when you got him? It's unusual.
