7 Months Old

I am 7 months old today and I am officially taller than my big brother. Survived my first polar vortex and was forced to quickly adapt to wearing booties and a jacket. My Mom has not been able to make any progress on improving my over greeting tendencies and jumping up on people. Sadly I am still experiencing some fall-out from my New Year’s Eve fireworks fright. I have some noise sensitivity now and anything that reminds me of that night gets me worried and anxious. I only gained 3 lbs this month but I grew 2 inches

5 months and counting

I have officially made it to 5 months old and I’m still alive. My Mom says it’s only because I am so darn cute that she couldn’t kill me even if she really, really wants to. I am hearing less baby land shark (unless I am taking a treat then it is full on shark 😉) and a whole lot more “devil child”. I’ve learned that I can stand up on my hind legs like a grizzly and jump up on people. It’s really fun but I can tell Mom is not impressed. I attended my first CWAGS scent trial and found both hides but they were FEO runs because I am too young to officially trial. I am really rocking urban tracking. Unfortunately winter is going to put it on hold for several months. I grew almost 3 inches this month and I am almost as big as Brodie now. Just a couple more and look out big brother!

4 Months Old

I am 4 months old today and boy have I learned a lot in the last month. I have full run of the house now. Mom says that is the earliest any puppy has had that privilege. I’ve learned that having the mentals/zoomies in bed at night while the hoomans are watching TV means that I get put in my kennel for the night. Now I am as sweet as pie so that they forget I’m there and I get to spend the whole night on my king size bed taking up as much room as possible. I’m learning tracking, nose-work and the foundations of competition obedience. My brother and I really get along well and even my big sister is allowing me to snuggle close to her in bed overnight. I still hear the words devil child and baby land shark an awful lot but I think it just means that they really love me ❤️

3 Months and Counting

I am 3 months old today and I am ready to rumble. Mom was shocked to learn that I was 25lbs and almost 16″ tall. Got my second set of shots last Wednesday so look out world I’m coming for you. Got to experience a little of the performance dog trial world this past weekend. Spirit did CWAGS Friday night and Brodie did SDDA nose work all weekend. I got to hang out in the car and meet lots of people. Remember, if any of my Mom’s dog peeps has a fully vaccinated, puppy savvy adult dog that I could be introduced to, bring’em on. I’m ready to start socializing 😉.

I love my big brother

12 Weeks Old

I am 12 weeks old today and pretty amazing if I do say so myself. I thought my Mom had it too easy living with me so I figured I would inject a little spice into her life and start projectile vomiting and diarrhea. As a young, not fully vaccinated puppy she worried that I had the potentially fatal disease Parvo. I never saw her move so fast as she rushed me to the Vet. Surprise no parvo I just ate some green tomatoes which, who knew, are toxic to dogs. I’m fine now but my Mom aged 30 years.


At 8 weeks I was a retrieving machine but at 12 weeks I’m a “ it’s mine and I’m out of here”. I did manage to earn my second trick dog title in my spare time. I’ve started Perfect Puppy Classes where I get to check out new and exciting things and learn to listen to my Mom with other people and puppies in the room. Frankly I would much rather get loving from the people and play with the puppies but they won’t let me.

11 Weeks old and 20lbs

Time is just flying by. I can’t believe I am 11 weeks old already. The belly loop on my harness used to hang down a couple of inches and now Mom is close to having to enlarge it. She already checks and grows my collar every couple of days. She wants me to slow down and stop growing up so darn fast. ❤️🥰❤️

10 weeks old and all teeth

I’m 10 weeks old and full of trouble. Mom calls me a baby land shark because I love to bite and I especially love to hang off of her housecoat. I’ve mastered most of the 15 tricks I need for my Novice Trick title. I am great in a kennel at night and in the car but I have no patience or tolerance for being in an x-pen or crate during the day. I can scream so loud that Mom is sure that the neighbours must think we are engaged in dog torture/sacrifices. Other than that, I am the greatest little boy ever, even if I do say so myself ❤️

9 weeks Old

It’s official. I am 9 weeks old today. Mom says I’m stinkin’ cute but a devil child. Last Tuesday I could sleep under the chairs in the family room, today only my head fits under there. I’m growing up fast, way too fast if you ask my Mom.
