I can't believe he was 17 weeks on Thanksgiving. How the time flys. He's doing so well for a puppy it amazes me. Normally I only have to tell him something once and he gets it. Except slippers. He just loves them to much not to grab them. Also he's decided the tree skirt on my Christmas tree is his bed. He's very careful and hasn't knocked down any ornaments so I've been letting him sleep under there. His potty training is very good. He almost always whines if he has to go. Last week I decided he could have run of the front half of the house so I was worried he might not let us know he had to go out and hooked up a bell to the door. He took right to it and gives a little jingle if he needs to go outside.
We went to the Vet on Friday. It was supposed to be Wednesday but they closed due to a lovely snow storm. I must say I love this Vet and am so glad I went with them. He got his last set of distemper/parvo and all that. I thought he would get his rabies but the Vet said since shelties are often more reactive to vaccines that she wanted to wait 4 weeks and not overload his system. Have I mentioned I really like her :biggrin2: Just the anmount of knowledge she has amazes me. Anyway he did great and she's very happy with his progress. He's weighing in at 15.7 pounds now. Managed to gain 3 pounds in 4 weeks. She was very happy with this because last time she said he was a little lean. He free feeds but we've stopped the wet food. He seems to do better just on dry.
Next week I plan to do a bunch of photos for the big 18 weeks but in the meantime I couldn't not put up one of him at 17 weeks. Fair warning it's almost to adorable. :wink2:

Thank you for you great pic :yes:

My little girl is the same age - born 10/7 - she is the tricolor, but I have no pictures of her from the time she was very young, I got her first 4 weeks ago.

When I see your beautiful pictures, I am quite envious, but I am so foolish to take pictures, but I will simply have to take some.

My German Shepherd dogs lacked always an ear, a tail, a head or there was only a tail on the image, horrible :hide

My Minnie is something less, so maybe she can be on one picture :lol: I simply had to try.
 
Jeff, you are right...that picture is almost too adorable. :smile2: I had to laugh at the Christmas tree skirt "bed"...what an incredibly good pup not to be trying to topple the tree or pull off the ornaments.

He is precious! Love his little face :). So awesome that there are so many other bi-blacks on here.. they are a rarity where we are. Everyone thinks Cruz is a border collie pup :gaah thanks for sharing the picture!
 
I'm sorry Jeff but your warning was just not strong enough! Your little Odin is just so . . . everything Sheltie. Cute, cute and more cute, like the rest of S, can't wait for the official 18 pictures. :smile2:
