This morning Apollo figured out that there is yummy smelling cat food at the top of "his" cat tree... this could very well be the last cat tree photo for a while.

And later in the day he had his first trip to our groomer.

He's growing like a weed! But he's still a gorgeous pup! Looks like everyone's happy too!

Wry grin he is not yet walking well on a leash so I ended up picking him up and carrying him into the store. UGH my poor arms. Today I did the climb on the scale without then on with and subtract, I came up with 24 pounds and he will be 12 weeks on Sunday.

At age 12 weeks he is starting to look more like an adult and less like a cuddly puppy. Grin if only DH had gotten all of him in this photo...

Oh, he's getting bigger very fast! I have a feeling he will outsize your other 'kids' pretty soon.

Apollo is now 14 1/2 weeks old and living up to his nickname Monkey. Climbing and getting into everything. He weighs about 30 pounds and is about 17 inches tall at his shoulder.

Monkey has been having fun in our snow as some of the other photos posted showed. Today he passed a big milestone in his growth, he learned to climb up on the bed without help. There goes any hope of sleeping in when he wants attention...

Look at how big he is ...

He also got his first lesson for our command "come up". This means stand up and set your front paws on my arm. It makes it a lot easier to fasten/unfasten leads and vests.

Today Apollo went in for his last puppy shots and got to meet the vet at our clinic who is crazy for poodles. In fact the whole office had to hug on him and make a fuss over him. According to their scale he is 30.9 pounds and he turned 16 weeks 3 days ago

He got to meet a big adult dog. The owner was careful and didn't let his boy force him self on Apollo. I got a photo of the dog a beautiful American Bulldog.

And believe it or not all three dogs have made themselves comfortable on the half of the couch that was cleaned off... Apollo likes to sleep on top of his housemate, thank goodness she tolerates it well.

I almost forgot photos for this week. Apollo is doing well. He survived his over dose of Rimadyl and is now totally back to normal.

He and Jazz had a nice romp in the snow this morning and came in to a yummy treat of leg quarters. At least he and Jazzy thinks it is yummy. LOL DH didn't realize they were getting raw chicken once a week. The look on his face was priceless...
