This handsome fellow is me, Nelson, and I am turning ten months old today! Mom says I will be a year old way too fast, but I’m excited as I can do a lot more things when I turn a year old.
We have had snow all week and no sunshine. Mom and I waited to do my photos in case the sun would return, but it didn’t happen. It’s alright with me because I get a snowy photo shoot for the first time.
I’m still the little guy by name around our house, but I am actually a pretty big guy. I weighed in at forty eight pounds last week at the vet! I’m shorter than Bailie and Olivia, but I am really sturdy. Mom says I’m built like a concrete block. Personally, I think it is my long ears that add the extra weight.
Besides weighing more than any of my sisters, I am also longer than everyone. Mom says I’m crazy long, whatever that means. She loves my “longness”, but it also allows me to reach a lot of things no one else on paws in the house can.
My nose is also quite long compared to my sisters, but my ears are longer than my nose and that is important. With my long nose, I have a long beard that has been snow covered a lot this last week of being nine months old.
You all know I am lime green boy. When we went looking for the nice bench on the path, we found it has been replaced with this new green bench. Of course, I have to take a photo on a green bench! Mom tried to get me to lay down, but I didn’t want to have my tummy on the snow, so we decided I could just sit.
Everywhere I go, I hear people saying what a handsome fellow I am. Mom says I am too, so it must be true. Today I am being extra handsome with my Thanksgiving bow tie for my ten month photos. I’m excited to see what Thanksgiving is all about next week. Maybe with my cute bow tie, I will get extra food from unsuspecting people visiting our house!
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
Happy 10 months, Nelson! You are a VERY handsome boy and that bow tie looks fabulous on you!
Hi Nelson,
Gail and I just love the snow photoshoot. (We only have rain here in Aberdeen right now).
You are such a handsome fellow. And long too! (Maybe there is a hint of dachshund in your ancestry?)
And guess what, you are exactly one week older than me! But I only weigh 16.5 lb. I keep telling Gail she isn’t feeding me enough!
Toodle-oo!
Nobby.
I eat a lot, but I am in good shape. GBGV’s are basset, which is long and short, so it is good to be long in our breed. You are super cute, but a lot smaller breed than I am.
oooh happy 10 months o versary… and we look forward to your birthday party.. we bet this is a super feast…
Two months and then it will be my first birthday party. I’m pretty excited.
Happy 10 month Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊. You are definitely one long, sleek, handsome, buff dude! Might I add you are very muchva Mama’s boy! XOXO Sparkle
Mom admits she is super in love with me and I am also a real mom’s boy, so it is a good fit.
Nelson Happy 10 months. You are surely living your best life!!! Prince of the house. Your ears are amazing and I am a bit jealous of their shade of brown. Very nice. I think they frame your face perfectly and are 100% a conversation starter. And as I close I might add you wear that bowtie with such style and you make me swoon.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. Girls fall all over me all the time, human and canine. Just my sisters see me as a little brother but they too love me. I’m pretty lucky.
Nelson is most handsome and he has fit right in. I know he makes mom happy. Us too.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
Mom can’t imagine our family without me in it. I’m a super lucky boy.
You are extremely handsome and sweet
Thank you. I think I am too.
Happy 10 Month Birthday handsome!! Hoping you have a great day!!
Mom is really busy today, so not much going on for me today, but I get to find rats this weekend so I’m looking forward to that.
Happy 10 months handsome Nelson and I hope you get more romping snow just for fun!
We all have our paws crossed for loads of snow this winter.
Happy 10 months celebration, Nelson! Being a Peeb myself, I know about being long, and being able to reach lots of things just by standing on my back legs. I have taught my mom to not leave tasty things near the edge of the table or counters!!!!
Being a Grand makes me even longer, so Mom has to really pay attention to where she leaves things. I’m an expert at finding things I can reach and grab.
Wow! Where has time gone! Happy 10 month birthday Nelson!
We love your Bow Tie!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
Thank you. Time does go by pretty fast, but I’ve been enjoying every day of being a puppy and all it’s advantages.
Goodness gracious you gorgeous guy!!! I agree – man to man – long bodies and long ears make us weigh more! I consider myself a handsome stud, but You are quite the Dandy!!! I’m glad I can help celebrate your 10 month birthday! (p.s. I am also a mama’s boy). I was hoping to be your dad, but Crooner beat me out! Jimmy Parker
It would be fun if you were my dad, but it wasn’t meant to be I guess. I’m just enjoying being good looking and having all the girls around.
You did a wonderful job on your photo shoot, you handsome guy!
Thank you. Mom said it was cold with the wind so she needed to be quick before her hands froze, but I am enjoying the colder weather.
So dapper with that bowtie! I am sure you are your mom’s boy but I think deep down your sisters feel the same way. Mothers and good sons have a special connection. You are a good son.
Mom tells us that each of us is very special and has our own deep love from her.
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9. ….. TEN and going strong! Happy Day Mr. Nelson!
I’m doing really well for my age according to my mom.
Happy 10-month birthday, Nelson! 🙂
Thank you. I am loving growing up.
