Dante's First Year

We hope you enjoy this slideshow of Dante's first year. His first birthday was on Dec. 3, 2010. Happy Birthday Dante!

Dante Keeps Growing!

                            Wow! I'm seven months old already!



                             I can still fit on my Daddy's lap!

Dante is 6 months old today, 72 lbs.

Enjoying Life!

             I think my mommy shouldn't use the flash!


             I love to be on my daddy's lap.


             I think he likes it when I'm lovey-dovey like this.

62 lbs at 4.5 months... and GROWING !!

My mommy calls this my "sweet look"!



I have a great sense of humor!



Are you a nature lover like me?



We're squinting because the sun is so bright!



I sure am getting to be a loooong doggy!

Dante Keeps Getting More Beautiful...

They let me on the couch now, 'cause I'm so cute!


I love to lie on the deck!


Can you see how my colors are changing?


I notice everything - even the birds in the sky.


Yep, this is all of me!


My mommy says my ears and nose are shaped like triangles!


If we're very quiet, maybe we'll get some treats!

Dante at 13 weeks of age - 34 pounds!

Dante's Ears Up? Not always!

Looks like my ears are up! Don't be fooled - they go up and down a lot.



I "borrowed" this little doggy bed from my dachshund sister, Tatiana.



      I'm watching you...



Sometimes I feel a little wild!



Now where did that ball go?



Ah-ha! I found it!



This is MY beanbag now! I'm taking over the whole house!

Dante Weighs Almost 25 Pounds! (At 10 weeks)

       Grrrrrr... Don't I look tough?


       Mommy, that little doggy is gonna get me!


       Hmmm... I guess Tatiana will always be in charge.


       I've got my own piece of wood to chew.


       Do you want to play with me?


       It's good smellin' wood, isn't it?


       Ahh... it's nice to lay in the grass.


       I love to get wet!


       Want to hug a wet doggy?


     I can get anything I want when I look at my mommy like this. :)


       Do you like my profile?

Dante has had an exciting first week!

              I love to explore outside...



...and slide down rocks!



              Don't I sit nicely?



Wet grass in the morning is the best!



Please, may I stay out here all day?



              I'll let you take more pictures...



    See, I can pose just like a model!



I love to lie on this big orange cushion!



Will you take a nap with me?



May I have a treat?



Getting sleepy...



My human mommy likes my feet...



I'm really sleepy now.



She likes my nose, too!



Will she ever put that camera away?



Ahhh... I love the cool tile floor.



Wishing sweet dreams to everyone.




Hope you enjoy the video. :)
