I got my little girl Kay a week ago. It'll be interesting to watch her grow over the next year. Let's see if I can stick to taking a picture every week!

Week 1:


Week 2:

She has a scab on her nose and under her eye because she got nipped by a dog at the dog sitters

She is a super cute little girl

My God those eyes..she's adorable

Very cute. Will be interested to see what her mask does as she ages with that grey between her eyes and the V on her forehead.

she is adorable.

Thanks everyone! She's turning into the typical husky puppy monster    
Her [mostly] sweet demeanor and cuteness is what makes it all worth while

Me too!

Week 3: 9 weeks old, ~8 lb.

Here she is at 10 weeks. Her growth has accelerated a bit which explains her ravenous appetite! She gained about a pound and a half in the last week which brings her up to 9.6 pound.

Week 4:That black spot on her leg is mud because she's a little

Kay gained another pound this week. She's filling out nicely and is growing proportionally. I'm just waiting for her legs to sprout up to that awkward stage where their ears and legs look too long for their bodies

Week 5: 11 weeks old, 10.8 lbs and about 11" tall at the withers

Growing like a weed. My girl has a spot on her tail too.

She reminds me a lot of my little girl at that age. If she's anything like Mishka, she may never go through the big ear stage. Mishka didn't go through the long leg stage though, either, lol.

I love her coat. coloring and texture is beautiful...pretty soon the black will start coming in!

she looks like she has sprouted, Leo when though that big ear and long leg stages haha. he was so goofy looking.

Thanks everyone! It always amazes me how fast they grow at this age. She was at the dog sitters for 2 days while we were out of town. She was noticeably bigger when we picked her up!

Week 6: 12 weeks old. This image exudes her sweet personality. I think she is beginning to resemble her father

love her mask and those adorable eyes.

Here she is at 13 weeks old, 11.8lbs. She's still a tiny little thing and her dark grey/black has been slow to grow in. She's looking more white overall this week!

Week 7:

Wow, she is changing! I just love her eyes, color and shape is just beautiful. Mishka stayed tiny too, the girls should stay pretty small. The black should come in pretty good, and then the lighter colors start diluting it a bit again. The black is most noticeable, to me, when the top part of the rings around the eyes start becoming the headpiece, and then the lighter fur will dilute it again. She's looking so beautiful! Mishka had that same little white line on her forehead, on Mishka it's still there but the fluff kinda hides it.

Thanks Jimmi! Her mom is only 35lb and dad 50 lb so she will be on the smaller end of breed standard. I can't wait until the black starts to come in My roomate nicknamed her Toasted Marchmallow and jokes that Kay is "pee pee" colored lol

Eww, "pee pee colored" is so not cool! LOLOL. Toasted marshmallow sounds pretty though.

Kay had a growth spurt this week! She's gained 3.4 pounds (15.2 pounds total)

Week 8: 14 weeks old


Kay is sitting on her throne. She sits or stands on it to feel bigger than Anya. Sometimes she provokes Anya by barking at her then jumps on her head

This is such a cool picture! I love it!

Thank you Jimmy!

nice pic they looks so cool.

Her black is staring to come in a bit more!

Week 9: 15 weeks old

I really like that week 8 picture - sometimes I'm a bit slower to respond - but the juxtaposition of the two is really nice.
Where's that black you say is coming in in the week 9 picture?? Her goggles are black, but that's about all I see that's black.
She is really a very beautiful pup ...

I was saying that her black is coming in more over all at 15 weeks.
Here is a comparison:

8 Weeks:


14 Weeks:

Week 10: 16 weeks old, around 18 lbs
