Hunter Update

Hunter boy is doing well.  He was 9 weeks old on Monday - 1/30/12.  

He has probably doubled in size during the 2 weeks we've had him.  After one week at our house, Nathan had trained him to go to the door and scratch when he needed to go potty.  He is still doing so well with the potty training.  The chewing is c-r-a-z-y, but we just keep trying to work with him.

He is starting to explore more outside...things like eating leaves and digging holes in the dirt.  He still bounces around when he runs and waddles when he is walking slow.  He's taken over a few soft blankets I had and my house slippers.  He's a spoiled pup, for sure!  We get excited to get home to him after we've been away for awhile.  He still stays locked up in his cage/activity center while we are away.  We don't quite trust him to roam free while we are at work.

He definitely seems to be Nathan's buddy.  He listens to him better and always tries to curl up in Nathan's lap.  He does ok hanging out with me too though :)

Until next time...

Leah,Hunter ia sure growing and he is cute. Tell Nathan to get a bell and put it on the door knob and teach him to ring it. I put one on my door and CoCo goes to the door and rings it when she has to go out and some time when she don't have to go she rings it so she can be out doors. Grandma Herring.

Soooo cute! And so smart to be trained already! He looks happy and fits right in :) One tip: make sure he has lots of chew toys- and keep your shoes out of reach!

He is adorable Leah! LOVE the pix and would love to meet him. I bet you are understanding why people get so CRAZY about their pets! I didn't understand until we got Deogy and when he died, I totally believed that dogs go to Heaven too!!
