Growing Up!

[Hev339]

Only 9 days then I get to see Scooter again, I can't wait! <br /> <br />But, I was talking to the owners the other day, and turns out my beloved little guy (who is now 8 months old) isn't so little anymore... <br /> <br />In fact, the vet measured him at 14.3hh! <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> <br />I'm so proud. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />Like I said, can't wait to go home and see him (and Bogart, and the girls, of course) again in 2 weeks. Hopefully I'll have some pictures too. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />Thanks guys, had to share, I'm excited. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0">

&nbsp;Hev, enjoy his smallness while you can because by the size he is now and the size of his parents he's going to be BIG! do you have an estimate on the hight he'll finish at?

[Abbey]

HEV - oh how I can relate, I was where you were just 10 months ago. Adonis was about that size at 8 months too. They do slow down for a bit thanks god. He's now 15.2hh. <br /> <br />So are you taking him to a few in-hand shows?! In what area are you? I'm looking for a couple to take my guy to. <br /> <br />Can't wait to see pictures of your guy!!! And yes, do enjoy his little-ness, it's crazy how fast they change!!!

[Hev339]

lol, yes, I'm definitely trying to enjoy his little-ness, the problem being, while I'm at school, he doesn't stop growing!! If only he'd stay little forever. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />I don't have an estimate of what he'll finish at, but I'm going to go with big. lol. I will ask though, I'm sure the vet will give me one. (the vet and I are friends, hang out on her days off..I'll bring it up in small talk. lol). <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />And yes, Abbey, he will be doing the CSH triple crown shows this summer, but right now we're looking for a few to take him in to get him ready for the hustle and bustle of a big show...I'll let you know if we find any. (I'm in Durham region, but we travel pretty much anywhere!)
