We have a show tomorrow and Sienna is now in that awkward phase of puppy hood. I love her no matter what she looks like but even I have to be real. She is 8 months old and her legs are too skinny and her ears are too floppy for her narrow snout. Chesapeake’s are known for their broad chests and heads. Sienna is just narrow and gangly. I have even had people asking if she is a wiemaraner because her ears are so big and floppy.


I realize that the judge will realize that he is judging a puppy and not an adult therefore she should not have the qualities that an adult Chesapeake should have but still……..


I wonder if she feels like I did when I was a teenager, all out of proportion, going in for school pictures. In fact she looks a little like I did in my 7th grade photo.
