10-14-2011: Eleven Weeks Old

Playing the "Flying Nun" |

Drummer at eleven weeks old. He is now forty pounds, with a gain of five pounds in one week.
He is already responding to "Come" (as shown here), "No", "Sit", and walking on a leash. He has one bad behavior: when he doesn't want to come, even when on a leash, he goes completely limp.

On Drummer's first full weekend with us he has mastered stairs! We have three levels, and I was getting a sore shoulder from picking him up every time we went up to the bedrooms, or down to the family room. By Sunday, a week from when we picked him up, he's crawling up and down with little difficulty. He wants to be wherever I am.
My first attempt to enclose him with a baby gate, while I ran to the store, didn't work. When I returned I found he'd pushed it down and was lying in the kitchen, watching out the sliding door for my return. Nothing chewed up or accidents in my absence.
Can you believe he's grown so much in a week I had to let out his collar, which had gotten too tight!

10-8-2011: Drummer's First Week Home


He aims to please and is working at mastering stairs. Yesterday he did, "Look Ma, no hands!" running up and down the first five steps of the staircase to show me how well he could do it. He was quite pleased with himself, but the next level of about a dozen steps, still seems too intimidating to him. Day by day he's getting heavier for me to carry up and down, and I'm suffering from a sore shoulder from the effort.
He is now riding in the car like a seasoned pro, and handling our daily walks with all their stimulation of cars, people and other dogs. He ran around with a small neighbor dog he will soon tower over, and he is now running ahead while on the leash rather than cowering around my ankles.
