As of Friday, February 23, 2007, Ayla will be one whole year old. We almost can’t believe how quickly the last year has gone since we first saw her at 3 weeks old…then finally brought her home at 8 weeks. She’s grown from a tiny little puppy who barely was big enough to come home with us since she barely met the 8 kilo (18 pound) weight requirement to be weened from her mommy into a pretty large Newfie at almost 100 pounds (45 kilos).

We were playing with the idea of hubby taking the day off so we could really show Ayla a special day but unfortunately that’s not going to work out. So instead, we’re thinking we may just grill that evening and make Ayla her own special steak (since she seems to love them so much) and try to do something special with her over the weekend.

I thought I’d post some photos of her over the next few days to show how much she’s grown. This set of photos is from birth to the day she came home with us at 8 weeks old.
