The wait is finally over. I picked up my Dinozzo today. We almost hit an 8 point buck on the way. I had to slam on my brakes when my dad spotted him. Given the boat incident yesterday we are staying close to home for the rest of the week. Lol
My 15 yr old cat already sits comfortably beside him. Though she loves his food. >. <

I swear the first pic of him he has to be thinking "We have to go back? You've got to be kidding me!"
He will be 4 months on Saturday and his ears no longer stand so well. I thought I wouldn't have to worry but now I'm not so sure.
He goes to the breeder on Saturday for training so she can have a look at them and let me know what to do next.
He also starts puppy classes on 1/22. Soooo excited!

Oh my word, he is a handsome lad. Can't wait to see him full grown.


Don't worry about ears. Best to just leave them alone and they will go up naturally. Handling them too much might make things worse ;) Puppies ears often go down when they are teething, and at 4 months old he would be! Esmeralda is 3.5 months and has started teething, but thankfully ears are still up.. But to be fair, they have been up solidly since 8 weeks of age. xD

And just shy of 4 months.
Amazingly enough all those ear poses were exhibited in one day. Lol

He will be five months in three days and so much has seemed to change in just the last week alone. I've seen a lot of improvement on his nippiness (just mouths now) & his obedience. I have switched back to feeding his food out of the kong and shank bones that he cleared the marrow out of. He use to not care for the kong but has interest in it now. The photos are just from my phone but he is looking so much more adult like now. Ooh and I got his cute name tag too.

Haha I have that nagging voice too. Looks like his ears might be getting foams on Saturday. Though they are standing much more often now.






Awwww! Too much puppy cuteness! I can't stand it! I want! I also love the name, but will you have to get a Gibbs to train him?
Probably. :D There have been quite a few times he could of used a Gibb's slap to the back of the head. Haha Actually though in the past week I've really upped up the obedience & making him work for his meals. The improvement is so great that I'm like a giggling school girl.

What a busy weekend! Club training on Saturday. Then Sunday I took Dinozzo to Moraine Hills State Park. We walked 5 miles which is way more than I intended.
Then I took him to Petco to work on doggie distractions. The tips i got from the club really helped. He actually started to look to me instead of barking his head off at the dogs so was real excited & will keep working on it. He just recently turned 5 months! :D
While he slept the walk off, I parked by the park bird feeders and only got a couple decent shots.

Dinozzo made a friend with an almost four month old Alaskan Malamute today. Dinozzo was a barky butthead at the start, but after a quick greeting he quickly learned to walk alongside his furry friend. Hopefully it helps him with his leash reactivity.
Also a very short video of them playing. http://youtu.be/r8GDOE8onSI . It almost seems like the 3 mile walk has done more for him than the working in the parking lot. /shrug
The white balance is all over the place but I was too tired/frustrated with my soon to be ex-computer to care.

Every day he becomes more and more of a well behaved boy. He's about to be 10 months. His one ear is still up, down, up, down. He had an ear yeast infection that I dont think helped. The photo of it down was from yesterday and the photo of it up is from today.
