Up date

Well I'm getting rather big. I'm now nearly four months old and spend most of my time trying to chew anything I can get my teeth into. Teething I'm told. Problem is they try to hide everything interesting, but so far I've managed several pencils, the remote control, one glasses case, several magazines (great fun to rip into tiny little pieces!) and bits of wood and bark from the log basket.

I'm not naughty all the time though. As long as I get my long walks I can be nice and quiet for quite long periods, especially after last week when Brian took me for a run in the mornings and I had  several 7 km walks in the afternoons. The weather has been very wet though and who wants to go out in that? Not me, but sometimes they still make me.....

I have been told to sit, stay, lie, give paw and come back when called, so I'm learning fast! And I'm trusted to be let off the lead quite often too and quite good at coming back when called, although sometimes not the first time.....

I've now had all my shots and have a passport too so can travel. I'm still learning to get used to the car, I have been very suspicious of it since all trips used to involve trips to the vet, but yesterday I got in and sat and looked out of the window and I hardly shook at all during the journey!

I've met lots of people in the last few weeks, been to other houses and made friends with several dogs, most of them bigger than me, but I'm growing so fast I will soon catch up with them. I now weigh around ten kilos, my legs are getting longer and I can nearly reach the counter in the kitchen when I stand on my hind legs to check out what they're preparing for dinner!
