hi, all! i've been lurking about reading and enjoying posts, but felt like i should post an update... my sweet boy is growing so fast! he had his 12-week checkup today and gained 10.5 pounds (4.8 kg) since his last checkup THREE WEEKS AGO.....!!!! he's up to 23 pounds now (10.4 kg). he will be 12 weeks old on saturday. i couldn't believe he'd gained that much in just three weeks, my goodness! he still has his mad hour every night when nothing at all will dissuade him, not even time-outs in a quiet room ( :), but in the main, he's a lovely pup. quite good at car rides (sleeps!), very socialized (meets new people almost every day), and sits up and begs nicely if you tell him to "say please" for his treat. we're just getting into working on his recall, as we have had 2 freak snowstorms (very unusual) in the last 3 weeks, and currently on day 3 of solid rain.......... someone save me. some new photos here.... taken during last week's snow (just shy of 11 weeks old) and this morning whilst waiting for his 12-week boosters. (and YAY - we can finally go for longer walkies and go to new places and meet new animals and visit the pet store!!!!) orion "conquering" my daughter in last week's snow....! image by suthuncat77, on Flickr orion trying to get snow off his nose... hahahahaha image by suthuncat77, on Flickr kids with orion image by suthuncat77, on Flickr orion this morning whilst we waited to go into the vet's office... he had a plush spot to nestle down with his bone in my car while we waited!
