And so here he is in the flesh! Charlie is now 5 and a half months old. I haven't been successful in dawg blawgging for sometime as to my hectic busy schedule, but sure have missed chatting about our Charlie. I've just made time to at least post this pic of him curiously watching me take his pic. He is now just over 11 pounds and is signalling to go potty when the need arises (so it took about 2 and a half to 3 months of persistence to attain this much anticipated success). He does a variety of tricks, follows a lead and leash without hesitation, responds consistently to a variety of commands and enjoys his family. He is slightly standoffish to strangers but we are continuing to provide him varied experiences in meeting new people.
Charlie is adorable. Does he know any words yet? We call the dog park the library at my house, because out dog makes a beeline for his leash when he hears dog park...
ReplyDelete"car ride" is an adrenaline buster...as soon as hears those two words he's good to go...he adores car rides with the pack!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute...Puppies are adorable and as they age, they become better.
ReplyDeleteFor the past week we have inundated Charlie with pet store visits, soccer games, water parks and busy sidewalks asking strangers to bend to his level, ask him to sit and treat him helping to teach Charlie that strange hands are friendly hands...after one week he does not hesitate to sniff strangers and far less standoffish to reaching hands...we will continue this social immersion.
