First Sleep-over

I had my first sleep over last night. I stayed with Aunt Jackie, Aunt Ellen and Cisco.

We went on a walk Saturday night and I got to meet Aunt Jackie's parents. In the evening Aunt Jackie wanted to snuggle with me but I was more interested in checking things out rather than laying around. I wasn't a bad boy, just an inquisitive one.

This morning I slept until 7am and then had breakfast. Aunt Ellen played with and we had a great time. Then we all went on a 2 mile walk. I am really good at walking and I was going to attention heel the whole way. Aunt Jackie convinced me it was ok to just walk nicely beside her without actually doing attention heeling. It took some getting used to but I did it.

Mommy picked me up early this morning and we went home to chill out. Overall, it was a fun weekend followed by a relaxing day.

Stop and Smell the Daffodils

I am now 3 1/2 months old. I am still learning new things and having lots of fun doing it. Mommy and Daddy take me out to all kinds of places and I get to meet lots of different people. With as busy as we are, sometimes you have to stop and smell the Daffodils.

This is what Moxi has taught me. I now run around with with a ball or a Kong hanging out of my mouth all the time.
A wonderful stay. I am such a good boy.

High Risk Puppy

We have determined that I am at a high risk for puppy-nappers. Our neighbor has hinted around about stealing me. I would like to think he is joking but he mentions it every time I see him so it makes me wonder. The good news is that Mommy says she knows where he lives. Then I saw Dr. John again today . Imagine my surprise when he said that he wanted to steal me too. I knew he liked me but I guess he really likes me a LOT.

Well, Dr. John was very happy with me. I am now 29.7 pounds, healthy, happy and sweet. He likes that I have had a slow steady growth so far but did mention that I am headed into a period of more rapid growth. He did my vaccinations today and said I was done with my puppy shots. I guess he forgot that he wanted to do one more Parvo vaccination on me after this. Mommy will have to call PAWS Headquarters to ask what Dr. Jeanne's thoughts are on doing that extra shot.

We were going to go to the park after visiting with Dr. John but it was raining with thunder and lightning. The lightning was not my little Golden girlfriend either. It was the bright lights that fill the sky. Hopefully we don't get the severe storms that our friends in Grand Rapid are dealing with today. Grandma Pat says those storms are really bad and headed our direction.

Our thoughts are with our friends and family in the Grand Rapids area. We hope you are all safe.
