Kenyas Preteen ackward phase! lol show me your dogs!

Lol because i adopted her as an "older" dog.. i never really thought she had changed much. and then I was looking through old pictures and WOW she really was an ackward teenager when i got her lol

So show me your dogs "preteen" ackward phases if you can!

and then top it off with a pretty picture of then now.. to save their ego lol

PRETTY KENYA

One of the first pictures I ever took of Sierra, the day I first met her.


Another angle.

versus now:

The closest I have to a recent side profile shot



Edit: WOW - and to think the rescue had her estimated at about a year old and fully grown! I knew she'd grown, but looking at that first picture... it's so PUPPY!!

Unfortunately I didn't have Summer, Rose, or Trey during that phase.

Bernard really didn't seem to have one. He literally went from this:



to this:



Overnight without going through any awkward stages. Just one day I realized Nard looked like an adult.

But Beau on the other hand....



to this :yikes:



to this



Nikki went through the worst, though (seems shelties and collies get the uglies really bad, lol!)



All legs and ears!

into this:

At the time I was like "LOL Auggie doesn't really have an awkward stage."
Then months later I looked back at photos and was like "oh."


10 weeks, first day home. ZOMG TINY.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this picture always cracks me up. Auggie looks so ridiculous and Kota's like "WTF you annoying little puppy."

Auggie makes looking ridiculous look so cool...



I should probably stack him again and take a more recent shot. He was not quite two here.

Some of my Goldens looked like freaks !!

Right after I got him


To wth is that thing?


To "my ears finally stood up but I have not yet grown into them"


To this

Caleb's gangly period ( 5 months old):





The current best full body shot I have of him is from Aug, 2008 (25 months old):

Extremely Awkward Teenage Ronin... you can tell he's fighting his breeder with all his might!




Ronin nowadays... much older, much bulkier, much more mature. Sort of.

Here are the oldest (youngest) i have of Riley. I didnt have a digital camera before this. About 7 months old here. Not too too bad.









To this dignified gentleman (sometimes).

None of Lills unfortunately but here are some of Ben.


Baby Ben



Teenage Ben



And my handsome young man.

Whisper went through a gangly leg stage, Hershey did too..

This adorable thing...



To this...



To baby faced looking alien..



To my gorgeous girl..



Ta da! I don't have any of Hershey on a digital camera because we got him when I was 9.

I don't think Hannah will ever leave her lanky stage.

8 week old Hannah


5 month old Hannah


11 month old Hannah


To this is how adult looking she is 1.5 years old


She's beautiful no matter what!

Whisper is gorgous. Some dogs never leave the lanky...Victor is king of lanky...i love it but maybe that's because i am lanky myself.
