My little snowy is growing up. :wub:
A couple of things -
- He's still a baby of course but yesterday I noticed how his fur is getting longer and is sort of wanting to part down the middle of his back now. It made me melt and also think of those grooming expenses though - hee, hee.
- He still looks like a little cloud puff when he's up and about but now he's more and more responsive to different things like when you call him, even when he's doing something you initially think is too interesting to summon him away from...although these moments usually involve treats LOL - or when I give him a treat but ask him to wait patiently, he's not all jumpy jump anymore but most of the times when asked to do so, he'll sit and wait. It just makes me weak at the knees looking at the little critter staring at me in a sitting position and waiting.
- His nipping is way less
- For the first time last night, I didn't actually close the crate door so he didn't have to wake me up to let him go potty. I was happy to have seen that my trust in him wasn't wishful thinking as he just took care of business throughout the night and we all awoke much happier and rested. OK so the poopy was'nt ENTIRELY on the wee-wee pad
but hey, I'll take it as an accomplishment anyway - (does anyone else's puppy do that btw? live on the edge? like pee right at the border of the pad? it drives me crazy sometimes)
And this is one of my favorites - he seems like he's really bonding.
He's so eager to say hello, good-bye, goodmorning, goodnight, to everyone in the house but especially.....ME...hee, hee. I get lots of puppy hugs and kisses when I walk through the door and he also walks me to the door when I'm ready to leave in the morning. He's really coming along....I think.....LOL
I'm sure everyone on here has had some puppy insecurities at one time or another but also remembers fondly and greatly cherishes memories of puppy milestones. Tell me about them and how it's been reassuring for you.
Have a great day everyone.:Sunny Smile:
