I was reading some of the very first blogs the other day - and I have to say, I am SO glad I decided to write this blog, so many things you forget, and he is growing so fast. IF ONLY I had this when the boys were little, it would be awesome!! For all those out there who have babies or even kids - you should start a blog - you will be so glad you did! Enough said..... back to my original thought! I can't believe all the things that he still does, that he did just as a wee little one. One thing is that he still loves to play with sticks and leaves- there is always a pile of "goodies" right off the porch. He will go gather sticks and leaves and bring them back to play - it looks like a mess out there. We clean it all up each Saturday, so he has all week to go gather more. He loves tossing them all around and running around with them - WHO needs TOYS!
He still loves his blankets.
He doesn't have the hiccups everyday any more, but he did just yesterday.
He can jump and leap over things like a deer - it is quite impressive.
He still barks and runs around anything moving - like you walking, the wheelbarrow, the lawnmower, etc...
He loves a BATH! and it is a good thing because he needs one often. Like last night at 8:50pm - I was not too happy about that one!!
He is still so clumsy walking up the stairs- he trips almost every time- doesn't bother him one bit.
He is learning, even tho he doesn't want you to know that he is! We can ring the bell or blow a whistle and he comes running. and He knows when "Mr DoBetter" is on his neck, and then, and only then, he knows exactly how to stay - right there where you told him to. He also knows what a flipflop coming off my foot means too - it is embarrassing to even admit that - but when we are out in the yard and he is torturing me - yes it is torture - all I have to do is take my flipflop off and he is instantly 5 feet away from me - with crazy eyes- and he will stay that far away until I put back on my shoe, and then he runs back to me- instantly. He usually stops his bad behavior tho. I always say I am going to have a spare ff tucked in my shorts. We are about to use "Mr. DoBetter" to correct that.
Right now as I write this, he is out in the yard with a stick with pine needles still on it - his favorite kind! He is tossing it up and then catching it, and swinging it around so it hits his back He is having a blast!! Got to love that dog :)
Oh- we went to the Vet on Thursday, and he weighed in at 59.5 lbs!! He will be 7 months old tomorrow, the 20th.
Just a Dog and his Man
oh my bad - it's A Man and his Dog ;)
