They grow up so fast!! Within just one year, small and medium-sized dogs can reach 99% of their adult weight in 9 to 10 months! And 11 to 15 months for larger dogs. At least they're always puppies at heart.
growing up
When it comes to celebrating your dogs birthday, we always go back and reminisce about the first time we help them in our arms. And that's exactly what Twitter user @Munoz0702 did. Well, that and a small birthday tribute to his best friend! Funny enough, this inspired other twitter users to share their own pups' journeys to adulthood in picture form, and we love it!

Photographer Rebecca Leimbach is continually documenting the wonderful relationship between her daughter, Harper and their English Bulldog, Lola as they both grow older together, sharing a uniquely beautiful bond.
They have a funny bond. Harper loves Lola immensely, except when Lola eats her toys, which happens quite often. Lola is very protective of Harper, she is always in Harper's business. Whatever Harper is doing, Lola must investigate to make sure it's kosher…I hope that people see what wonderfully amazing animals dogs are, and how their connection with people shape our lives. Like Harper, for example, she's never bored with Lola around…When Harper looks back at her childhood through these images, she will remember 'my first best friend' Lola. I hope people take away from the images that sometimes without us even realizing it, dogs fill an empty space in our hearts.
