The puppy/adolescent “uglies” are very real 🫣
Omen then vs. now at 3 years old.
You always hear people talk about certain bloodlines maturing slowly, usually referring to drive. But with Omen, it’s been the opposite. His mind, drive, and temperament have always been solid,it was his body that just needed time to catch up and fill out.
That awkward in-between stage can be humbling, but it’s a normal part of development,especially with males who take longer to fully mature.
If your pup is in that phase right now, give them grace. Focus on proper nutrition, consistency, and patience. Trust the process, it really does come together.
