Puppy's Tail

Oh, oh oh ... how a puppy's tail is so mysterious.  How can it be attached?  Surely not.

Teething and Car Sickness

Teething continues apace; I have one more puppy tooth for my collection.  That makes two.

And... Rhyn continues to get car sick.  I will try a calming chew the next time we go for a longer car ride.  So far he can make it a few blocks just fine. Hopefully, as he grows and his inner ear matures he'll be just fine.

Last Level 1 Class Today

Rhyn's last Canine Coach Level 1 class is today... he's alternated between forgetting how to 'sit' and remembering that he knows how to 'drop it'.  He's a funny puppy, as most are at this age.

I think I'll wait until Spring 2017 to continue any formal training - he'll be slightly less than one year, and will have been neutered by then.  We'll see how it goes!  I'll continue with leash work on my own, for sure.

Besides, we're still having trouble with car sickness, and I hope he grows out of that...

My boy!

Puppy Teething Woes

When puppies start to lose their puppy teeth, they can feel pretty miserable.

A way to help their sore little gums feel better:  Retrieve a holey sock or two from your drawer, tie it in a knot (or two), get it soaking wet (then wring it out, of course), and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours.  You can also purchase one of those little rope toys, soak that, put it in freezer, and a few hours later, you've got some relief for your puppy.

Rhyn's started losing his puppy teeth.  Yay!  He's on his way to growing up!

Rhyn's definitely going to be bigger than Zoey ...

Handsome Dog!

First photo is Rhyn at 8 weeks... such a cutie.

He really looks wise and loving, doesn't he? I really do think his true personality is a loving one, but we gotta wait for the puppy crazies to move on out...

And the Fun Continues

Apparently it's going to be a 'thing' for a while - Rhyn trying to get the treat from Zoey, and Zoey pretending she's not giving in.  So cute to watch Rhyn try all his 'tricks' on Zoey to convince her to give it over...
