10 months!

*(Written by Toby's Raiser)*

Wow, Toby turned 10 months yesterday, really TEN MONTHS!

It's quite hard for me to believe, it seems like just last week I was carrying him in my arms, cuddling his little head in my lap.

He has grown so much since then!

At times he may do something "wrong" but he is my baby, my spoiled dog (well I wish, but alas he's not allowed on my bed, the chair or the drivers seat!).

Toby is really doing well with his training, he enjoys the harness and thinks it's wonderful that he gets to wear it in public!

I would like to include some words about Toby, so here goes -

10 words for 10 months

Toby (Kinda obvious!)

Energetic (For the days he makes 30 laps around the INSIDE of the house...)

Nosily adorable (For his cute nose always being their to cheer us up!)

Mainly the same (Though he's grown large & more obedient he really is the same dog)

Obedient (He really trys to please me with his obedience!)

Neatly Nice (He gets more compliments than I do when we are in town!)

aTtentive (At times he may "ignore" me, but for the most part he is an attentive dog)

Handsome (Many compliments from the public for this one)

Silly (Every dog has their "thing", Toby's includes being "silly")

Now to prove you just read the above "10 words for 10 months" you should be thinking something along the lines of "Where is the tenth word for the tenth month?".

Am I right?

If not then you did just go back and count the words, right!?

You wanna know why?

I tried to figure out what ten words to list for this post, when Toby turned 8 months I used the letters in "Guide Dog", which equaled 8 words.

I didn't want to do just random words, so I thought about using "Ten Months", then noticed that it was only 9 letters.

I decided that 9 letters will have to do.

So the tenth word is "invisible" (you may have figured it out by now!), while in public if Toby is under a table, in a rest room, or in a store many people never noticed Toby. 'Til he walked right in front of them.

I had 1 person that was sitting behind us in a class room, and not once for the whole hour did they realize a dog was under the table!

At our house "invisible" is something we NEVER see!

I hope you enjoyed the "ten words", I enjoy figuring them out!
Toby had his 10 month pictures taken today (so really they would be 10 month & ONE day pictures!).

All the below pictures (besides Toby & the car) were taken with my awesomely cool gorillapod, it is quite helpful when I can't find a person to go with me and take pictures!

Please enjoy all the pictures!

And I would like to wish Toby and all of his siblings (Rocky, Duchess, Cassidy & Spike) a HAPPY TEN MONTHS!!
