Healthy at last?

Week 14 - 32 lbs
We went to the vet. Yes, you read right, we went to the vet again - it's their own fault really, those benches are just so comfy who can resist? I mean, could you? I doubt it. ;) You haven't sat on them.

Puppy had diarrhea off and on for two weeks and when he dropped 2 lbs because of it, I'd had enough and dragged him in to get some medicine. I love the age we live in. There's nothing more unpleasant than a 32lb dog whose bowels aren't operating correctly (though I suppose it could be more unpleasant if he were full grown); however, one day of meds and life is good again. Medicine is wonderful.

Oh, and please kindly ignore the position of my dogs mouth in the above photograph, and if you could ignore the glowing eyes as well that would be most appreciated - I like to try and pretend he isn't a little demon that eats grandmas for breakfast.


Week 15 - 39lbs
Please note my little monsters good behavior in the above photograph. He's waiting for his treat! and it's right there! Smelling delicious and looking appealing! and what is he doing? He's waiting! Ah, wonderful reassurance that it isn't possible for him to be bad 24/7 - at some point he's being good. Actually this weeks been relatively calm for us, he's been healthy and even if he's not made angel status he's at least no longer ranked amongst the snappers and attackers.
