A day of firsts!!

I forgot how tiring it was to have a puppy… after all.. it’s been 11 years since I have had one.. gah!   All the little things that you forget about when you have older dogs around.. but puppies.. they do lots of little things.. like…

bring you your shoes….

hide your shoes because you have already scolded them for bringing them to you…

bringing you your socks…

and your underwear….

licking your toes..

nipping your chin.. or nose when you think you are getting puppy kisses

pouting… because you have scolded about the nipping

the fascination with the littlest stick..

the wonder of finding a stick.. with leaves attached!!!

loving the big huge waterbowl on the deck… (ummm… it’s a puppy pool silly pup!)

splashing in the puppy pool…

sticking your face underwater in the puppy pool

going in the big pool with pawrents.. and swimming on their own!!

growing and inch and a half overnight… I swear he did last night!!

and so much more…

Here’s a picture of a first today… we got our first chewy compressed meat/rawhide bone.  This is not your typical rawhide bone.. this is more compressed meat since he is a pup.. He loved it.. actually chewed it in the shady grass  for over an hour this afternoon!!  I think I’m onto something here!! lol

I would never give him it unsupervised.. cause you never know with these when they get to be small pieces.. but man.. he enjoyed himself today!!  He only made a small dent.. so there is lots for tomorrow afternoon in the backyard!!

bark ‘ atcha later!

I'm Canadian eh? living in Southwestern Ontario. My crew consists of my sweetie Fred, my son (25yrs) and my daughter (22yrs) as well as our 4 legged kids, Maggie (12yrs) and Wilson (1year). Franklin was my sweet boy who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2012. His leg was amputated on December 4, 2012. He was the cutest tripawd on this planet. He was happy every day. His tail was always wagging. Lung Mets took him from us on May 15, 2013. Rainbow bridge became a happier place with his arrival. We miss him terribly everyday. We lost our kitty in September 2012. Diesel, who was 18 1/2 years old when he passed at home, was (and still is) the Godfather. He is missed terribly by all. They are curled up together sleeping at the bridge under the stars, happy to be sleeping buddies again.

  2. “Swimming” in your pawprents “big dog pool”? Already? What a special smart boy you are!

    Now, you have to keep your momma on a raft because I think she inhaled too much water. Why, you ask? Because she thinks you’ve grown an inch and a half overnight! Yeah, she said that!

    Has Frank n’ farter taught you how to make “bubbles from your butt” underwater yet? He will!

    Mr. Wilson, your photos are SOOOOOOOO CUTE!! Holding that bone between your paws….A D O R A B L E!! Can’t wait ’til we get some pictures of you in yor bowl!

    And that’s really nice of you to bring your pawparents their socks and shoes! Good boy!! You might want to think twice though bout Fred’s underwear:-) 🙂

  4. Oh. My. DOG that second picture just melts my heart! Wow! How can anyone resist PUPPIES!

    Eleven years since you’ve had puppy love eh? Wow. You are one brave pack! I always say that folks should always have at least one puppy around to remind them of all of the crazy antics they create. Have FUN! These are the good ol’ days!

  5. Oh Wilson!!! Thanks so much for making us smile. Sounds like you definitely have that Springer swimming gene!!
