She's all grown up!

It's been the gremlin lurking in the corner...  I knew the day was coming and I was dreading it but in a way I was also looking forward to it.  Not because of "IT", that part is a pain in the fanny.  What I was looking forward to was watching Swing fill out and change from that lanky little girl to what I hope is a pretty young lady.  Oh yeah, and buying her that first set of PANTIES!  :-)

Yes, at 17 months she has finally come in heat.  I had asked Ann if Ella had reached that milestone and her response was, not yet but the signs were there.  I know what she meant, I could see things changing leading up to last weekend so it was not that much of a surprise.  One nice thing, it isn't as messy as my friends with dobermans have had to experience.  So this weekend she heads off to the kennel during her "hot" time so that I don't have to listen to Dodge fuss around because our little girl  has turned in to HIS woman!  Amy said it will be good for Swing (and me), I know I'll miss and worry about her.  The good part is that Dodge and I will get some much needed quality time together to train and enjoy each others company.  And I think it will be a quiet Thanksgiving and cookie baking day at the Jordan's next week.  Poor Sam, affectionately knows as "the big brown dog", will miss his little playmate.  Sorry Sam.

Oh, when those new panties come in I'll post a picture.  Right now she's wearing her "granny" pants, the kind that look like a pair of Depends (at least they are denim colored), or pull-ups   Compared to them her new ones will have her looking like a Victoria's Secret model!

Next post will have some tracking pictures from last weekend.  Swing is doing very well and if I can keep her out for the next few weeks I'll look in to possibly getting her certified before the end of the year.
