Chit chat and pictures

I haven't been real active on here lately and today I realized its been 4 months since Balen joined our Family so I thought I'd update with some pictures.

He's actually been sort of a PITA these last couple weeks, but its not his fault. I've been so sick with this pregnancy some days I can barely get out of bed.

and he's so used to our daily training sessions and play that he's not taking my lack of attention so well. Needless to say, he's found other ways to entertain himself. He's lucky I love him.

We've recently discovered that the upholstery attachment on the vacuum is 10 times better than just the hose. Nobody believes that I can actually vacuum my dog, let alone use the upholstery attachment. He absolutely loves it and my husband swears that I vacuum Balen more than I vacuum the floor......and he's probably right. I need to get a video of it.

We've also decided that it is time to go ahead and get him neutered. I'm personally a little nervous about it but it's time. I do hope it mellows him out a little.

Here's some pictures of him enjoying the snow. I'm guessing this has been his first real snow (we got 8 inches) by some of his reactions but he has loved it.

Hope you're feeling better. Balen looks like he has a blast in the snow.

I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats! Balen looks GORGEOUS!!!

Such a change from when you first got him! You've done a great job with him, and he's so very lucky to have found a home with you!!

Hope you feel better! I had morning sickness like I never thought possible when I was pregnant with my son.

He certainly looks like he had a blast. I remember cracking up over Shasta's antics playing in her first snow.

Best wishes!

He is a beautiful dog and just imagine he will soon have 2 best friends

Why are you nervous about getting him neutered?

Hi everyone! I didnt mean to take so long getting back to the forum. Thanks for all the congrats on the pregnancy. I'm excited to see what Balen will think of his new sibling. He is maturing so nicely and starting to go through some "changes." I think he is leaving puppy hood behind.

I'm just a little nervous about the neuter surgery because when I was a teenager we had a sweet little muttly dog who didnt come back from the anesthesia. I still miss that dog. So now I'm just a little hung up on that.

Congrats on the pregnancy!

Balen looks like he's having a blast! He's certainly filling out nicely!
