I weigh 31 pounds!!!
I’m excited because mommy and daddy are excited. I went to a man they call “the vet” this Saturday and got examined, and got my temperature taken, weighed, and my vaccinations (I’d also gone when I was 6 weeks old, but that was before I came to live with Mommy and Daddy). The vet said that I am healthy, and I could tell that that made mommy and daddy happy!
I’m pretty much potty trained at this point, I go to the door when I need to go outside and either mommy or daddy take me outside to do my numbers. I learned to do that, because every time I did it right, I’d get a treat and a lot of praise when we came back inside.
I’m still on puppy food, I don’t get any human food as treats anymore, because when I do, I get diarrhea, or at least I get very gassy. It’s a shame because I really love the carrots that mommy eats. (note from mom - he absolutely loves his veggies, and it’s a shame he can’t have them, but puppies can have very tender tummies, and it’s a good idea to feed them ONLY puppy food, and the same brand at that, because of it).
I love to play catch, and run around, and mommy laughs at my antics a lot. I love to hear her laugh!
There are things I do that make mommy and daddy unhappy, I still bite too much, and I’m jumping up on people, and I’m going into the garbage still, or stealing slippers and stuffed toys and stuff like that from people’s rooms.
(another note from mom - training is still ongoing in these areas, consistency is key, especially when you have a dog as strong willed as Koda lol… he loves to please, but is nonetheless stubborn).
The other dog here (my sister) and I play a lot. Now she’s not scared of me anymore, and usually starts our fun. Since I learned to cover my teeth with my gums, we play a lot. I understand now that she is smaller than me, so I’m gentle with her.
Still no luck with the cat. But you know, that’s my fault. She just sits around, and wants to be left alone. I want to play though, and my sister and I chased her all over the house the other day. No one was very happy with me OR my sister after that one. I still think the cat is weird.
There’s still so much to learn, and so many fun times!
