I'm loving all his toys! He's so loved and spoiled! Does he have a favorite? I'm thinking of buying some more toys for mine!
His favorites are the Outward Hound log with little squirrels (also comes in a larger size)---he goes nuts for those little squeaky squirrels---and his rope toys. He has an octopus rope toy that his breeder got at Walmart but doesn't seem to be available anymore. I also got him the Mammoth 3-knot cotton blend rope toy from Chewy. He really likes it and it keeps my hands a good distance from his teeth! For playing outside, he loves this flat fox with a handle on one end and flat tail on the other. It's very durable and can go flying for him to retrieve and play tug. It's by Top Paw and it's the Tuff Tug Fox Dog Toy. I'd love to hear what your dog likes too---I'm always on the hunt for new ideas!

For mine, he doesn't seem so interested in toys, unfortunately... though he does enjoy the flirt pole and ropey toys (only when I'm enticing him though)! Thank you for your suggestions and I'm sorry I can't really offer you any! T_T

My Mawm is behind in posting my fabulous photos. Here I am at 15 weeks and I am BIG! About 14 lbs and maybe 13” tall—I dont stand still for measuring. I haven’t had an accident in the house in a LONG time but I hope my hoomans are staying alert cos it could still happen.

This was my favorite ball —I am a 76ers fan like my dad—but it‘s fabric and I chewed it open. Now I am working on destroying a NY YANKEES ball.

This soccer ball is fun too. I am a pretty good defender.

Here I am today—I am 4 months old! And I have been sleeping through the night all week! Life is good, and my hoomans think so too.

I am 18 weeks old now and I am like a fully grown mini! I went on May 18 and got the last of my shots and the doctor says I weigh 15.5 lbs. Probably more than that now coz I love to eat! My favorite chew is a good ole American cow ear. It is kind of disgusting to my mawm. I also went last week to meet other pandemic puppies like me for an hourlong play date. To be honest, I spent the first 10 minutes trying to get out of the fenced area—some of those other puppies were way too rambunctious for me! But then I met McGyver who was scared too and we played a little bit. A few minutes later I made another friend, Charlie, and we played for the rest of the time. It was so fun and I got very dirty and tired. Mawm told me we are going back for 4 more play date! Hooray! I also met my cousin Sally who kind of matches me in her fur color but she doesnt really like to play, maybe coz she is SO old—she’s already a year old! Yesterday I went to a brand new pet store and they gave me cheddar and bacon frozen yogurt! Mawm, you’ve been holding out on me! That stuff is great! Anyway, life is good. Next week I am going to get my FFF done—not sure what that is, but I hope it will be fun!

I am almost 5 months old! Lots has been happening, including going to the groomer for the first time. The first groomer didn‘t follow my Mawm’s instructions and trimmed my face like I am a doodle! That was awful. My mawm took me the next day to another groomer who made sure that I look like a real poodle. I also had another puppy play date that was super fun. But it sure is hot now with all my fur. I need a big haircut!

I am 21 weeks old now. I am 15” tall and weigh 19 pounds. The biggest thing that happened recently is that I got a summer hair cut. I also learned all by myself to jump up on a chair—my hoomans didn’t think I could do that! I am still going to my puppy play dates and playing with my friends Kruger and Charlie. Now I am going on longer walks near home and meeting other dogs but a lot of them are old and don’t want to play. I am also barking now if I hear something happening outside my house—just to alert my hoomans. I am pretty much perfect but my hoomans signed me up for “beginner life skills” classes in July. I guess then I will get to be extra perfect!

I am 23 weeks old now and weigh 20 lbs! I am about 16” now. My growth has really slowed down. Lots has been going on. I am losing teeth and getting new teeth and chewing A LOT. My mawm says to please stop trying to chew on the metal hinge on the kitchen island. She sure keeps an eagle eye on me! I graduated from my puppy socialization class and got a free toy. I’m gonna miss my new pals. I went to a class called recall and boy, there were some old dogs that don’t know how to do this! One of ‘em was 6 years old. I guess I have some time to learn this. I liked the treats a LOT. I just heard the loudest thing ever last night—my mawm called them fireworks. I was inside and sleepy so I didn’t care that much. But one thing I have learned is not to get caught in a rain storm. I did not like that wet feeling afterward. I also heard my hoomans talking about mawm having to go back to work after Labor Day and how she is going to start putting me in my crate while she’s working. UH OH!!
Here i am all wet. Ugh.

I turned 6 months old on July 8. Lots of my teeth have come in but I am still chewing hard for those molars and premolars. All 4 big sharp canines are in so that I can scare people and dogs if I want. But I pretty much like hoomans and I LOVE other dogs. I don’t get to meet all of them though coz their hoomans don’t always let me. I’m not that hungry these days but I do like all the special training treats I get at my puppy class. I’m learning so many things! Of course I already knew a bunch but I am getting better at everything, like sit, down, stand, stay, touch, focus, come. I also am getting used to being in my crate in the mornings during the week. I don‘t make a fuss—having a frozen Toppl is nice. But my mawm says I’m like a crazy boy in the afternoons and so maybe I will have to go in the crate then too for my nap. She keeps saying, “I have work to do!”—whatever that means. It’s been too hot to walk except in the morning and evening so I get a little bored. I really like to CHEW right now. C’mon, mawm, get me some more chews! I also went to see the nice groomer and jumped all over with excitement when I saw her but I heard her tell my mawm that I was nipping at her when she was shaving my feet. Oops, I better work on that. My mawm found a really good brush that doesn’t hurt so now I am letting her brush me at night for a few minutes. I’m a good boy except when I need to CHEW!

I am 7 months old! My mawm keeps forgetting that my fans want to see photos of me. The big news is that I graduated from my Puppy Life Skills class! My best trick is doing a push-up. What’s funny is they wanted me to learn “on” and “off” but I don’t jump on anything so I don’t know how to do it! But I sure know about “off”! My hoomans say that all the time! I have been going on walks again because it’s been cooler. I hate when I don’t get to meet all the other dogs I see out with their hoomans. Can’t they see what a great guy I am? I did make friends with Snow who lives a few blocks away. I heard the hoomans talking about us having play dates. Snow is really big but very nice to me when I am jumping all over him. The other thing I have learned is that there are maybe some bad people around at night on my sidewalk and I am keeping my hoomans safe by barking at them. My mawm jumps every time I start barking! Gee, Mawm, it’s not that loud and I stop when the coast is clear. At least I don’t bark any other time!

I don’t seem to be growing anymore. I am still about 24 lbs, which I was 3 weeks ago, and about 16 or 17“. Most of my teeth have come in but the pre molars have me chewing on every thing I can find. I like the metal hinges on the kitchen island or the wood shelves and best of all, my mawm’s leather chair. Yummy, but she seems very annoyed when I try to chew it. Uh, oh. My mawm also keeps trying to brush me everyday but I sure don’t really like it. The new brush is better but I still put up a fight. The hot dog treat at the end sure makes me happy though!
Look how tall I am!

Sometimes I like to curl up but I am REALLY glad my hoomans got me a 36” crate! I can stretch out now!

This is my new favorite toy!

It‘s a good necklace and a chew too!
