We're taking a temporary break from Florida to show you Dolce Bear's awkward adolescence! 
Dolce as a darling baby sitting on the bed of her Chicago hotel.

And a few weeks later, just as a human infant often loses its hair, she temporarily loses her thick bushy coat!

And combined with tear stains...she looks like she's had a rough night!

Our scraggly adolescent still wants to play, though!

And a girl needs her beauty sleep.

Finally, one day, the ugly duckling wakes up to see herself turn into the MOST beautiful swan!
Way to go, Dolce!
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia
