I suggest don't snuggle him too closely, he definitely picked up that land shark trait haha! Plus he isn't big into being cuddled!

Here are some picks from 12 weeks. We got a snowstorm and so we had an extra day together to hang out. He loved playing in the fresh powdery snow, he doesn't like it as much when it is compact, he just wants to eat it. His first obedience class starts this Saturday, and we are super pumped for it!! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures there and post them as well. His ears are up and down up and down. They were down the day I took the pictures (Tuesday) but now they are back up today, sometimes they just go down after a long nap!

Oh, and he weights 16.5 lbs!

I keep forgetting to take pictures whenever we are at obedience, because I'm so immersed in the class and trying to keep it fun and exciting for him. He goes to class every Saturday for the next 7 weeks and today he is starting a 6 week class on Wednesday. He is 14 weeks old, weights 20 lbs, knows sit, lay, kennel up, out, down, and he is getting better at barrier training him. I think next will be some fun tricks for him, touch, paw, and maybe then well work on his stay. He gets it kind of. The weather is warming up enough were I can take him outside regularly and play with him, and he's loving it!

But here are our 14 week old pictures. He's starting to get these lines around his eyes which make his face look like a heart.

He is kennel trained, we hired a pet sitter who comes over for 1+ hours a day, and then I also have some friends who don't work, and they come over about twice a week for 4 hours and play with him. I try to make my time with him as awesome as can be. Two puppy classes a week, and our instructor yesterday told us about this alternative to a dog park which the humane society offers on Tuesday nights, they have big field, and let dogs play according to size in different groups, required 1 person per 1 dog, and then a handful of volunteers also out there to help, so people outnumber volunteers, helping enforce good dog etiquette, more eyes on the dogs, if your dogs start to bully another one, you have to break it up, if you don't, you get kicked out. Pretty much a dog park, but with rules, and people to enforce those rules. We may try it out next week and see how it is. He always wants to play with every other dog he sees, so it may be a good way for him to use some of his energy.

so... fluffy...

Not just cute by feloniously cute. You will have to be careful or he will be arrested by the cute police for excessive fluffiness.

Oh I know, sometimes he won't stop biting, and I get so frustrated with him, and just want to not even look at him, but then like whenever I come home and let him out, he like runs around by legs and leans on my for loves, and his little ears go back and I just love him sooo much! He is the most adorable little baby ever.

Yeah, yesterday I was laying on the couch he decided to not only bite my hand, but also immediately go into a tug of war with my finger, did not go over well.

I thought I would add some videos since I just learned how!

Those are just him being happy to be able to play outside today. His recall is getting really good, and he hasn't ever left our yard even though it's not fenced. Of course I'm always outside with him, and we don't live on a busy street, otherwise I wouldn't test it, but he's been great. Whenever I think he's getting too close to the edge of the yard, I just call him and start walking backwards away from him, and he comes a running!

So it's been a while, Bruce is now 5 months old, growing so quickly! His adult fur is starting to come in, I thought I'd post some pictures I've taken of him recently!
