Gross lesson # 1

It's ridiculous how fast Happy is growing. These pictures were taken just 10 days ago (and time flys). Yesterday he was 13 weeks old, and weighed ~ 30lbs. Just this morning he came and wanted up on my lap for a little snuggle time. It's almost impossible now to be comfortable for him or for me, when I'm sitting on a chair. We'll have to get those snuggles moved over to the sofa I think.

Biko is still ambivalent about him. One day she plays with him, the next day, she leaves the room, as soon as he enters.

Other days she teaches him nonsense, and of course he's eager to learn such things.

What's that you ask? Here she shows him how to find the longest grass on the property, how to eat it, just to gross me out later, when my help is most likely needed, as soon as we'll see the grass again.



Well, lesson learned. He's chewing on a long plant, roots and all.


Sticks are good too.

It's hard to take pictures of him, because he hardly holds still long enough. This stick came in handy.



He's finally grown into his own blue collar. He had to wear "girl clothes" at first, the red collar. I liked him better in red. We also got a harness for him to go for short walks. I don't want to have the pressure on his neck and this harness is perfect for now, until he learns how to walk nicely. It didn't bother him at all. By now he knows what's coming, when I put it on him, and he hold still, because if he don't it always takes forever to get it on. I guess he WANTS to go for walks.


This is my current favorite photo of him. You can look at them bigger, by clicking on them, then go to "All sizes" and click on large or orignial.
