A Box Has No Chance

Rusty is recovering well. He spent the first night sleeping and let me eat food sitting right next to him whitout too much crying. By the next night he was starting to get back to his old self. He was jumping up to lick the counter and whining during meals. I took some pictures last week of Rusty playing with a box. He'll chew on everything in site. Good thing I didn't need to return what came in this box.

Rusty's New Trick

In honor or Rusty's neutering today I thought I would show off his new trick. It took a couple of weeks before I could get him to do this without leading him with a treat. He seems to get it now. This is "sit pretty"

My Puppy is Growing

Rusty at 9 Weeks

Rusty at 8 months

I can't believe how much my little dog grew! I developed some digital photos at Wal-mart for Toby's gift to his mom and I decided to develop some pictures of Rusty as well. When I looked at them I saw this tiny little dog that looked so small next to all of his toys. I remember when he couldn't even jump on the couch and now he is jumping up onto our bed.

He has started this thing where he will cry by the bedroom door at about 10pm until I go let him in. Then he will go wait by the bed until I lift him up there to go to sleep.

His other new trick is that if he wants attention he will go to the back door and cry to go out, but as soon as you get up to open the door he runs around and wants to play chase. Smart dog!
