Callan update
We have been at the cottage this week. He had his first swim. Went fine. He didn't love it but we now know he can swim.
At 5. Months I think I can safely saw that he is housetrained. He doesn't ask to go outside though. He seems to understand that it's a given that he will get a chance eventually. So just holds it till I bring him out. Still won't go on a leash
Chewing and nipping is now our next challenge. He has wicked little teeth and snaps his jaws like a snapping turtle. He snaps his jaws. And his teeth clacks. Too funny

OMG the snapping jaw thing! Kali does it and it's cute, funny and creepy at the same time. I always think of Jurassic Park's velociraptors when I see her do it (usually when focused on a specific toy during play time).

Late last week I took Enzo out to pee, and the friendly neighbor boxer, Elvis came over to say hi (they've met before). Elvis sniffed where Enzo has been peeing, lifted his leg and nearly peed on Enzo's head!
Anyway, ever since then Enzo has begun to lift his leg ever so slightly. It's kinda cute, lol. He'll still squat like a puppy, but he lifts up his back leg about two inches or so.
He's also started barking at anyone (person or animal) that he sees. Even noises. So we're working on 'watch me' when we see or hear something instead of 'bark mindlessly at the thing!' Anyone have any other ideas we can work on for this?

Sorry I've been away so haven't read all the latest updates so I may be jumping ahead
But I thought I would post Callan's latest height and weight..because I know that we are all interested in how they grow
At 5.5 months he weights in at 14.6 pounds and as best as I can figure between 12 and 13 inches (he squirms when I try to measure him) I think this puts him in the normal range

Yeah....that's it! He sounds like a snapping turtle when he does it. Like you I laugh and have to control as well

Zulu turned 4 months last Tuesday. Now weights 12.5 pounds, and is about 13" tall. He is about 90% house trained, he gives us a whimper at the door, but a couple of times we missed it. He is doing great at puppy school, has the sit and down, working on stay. He also sits when I stop during our walks, but he is still pulling a good bit. This week he noticed the TV, barked with the neighborhood dogs, and finally is starting to cut back on his grass eating! Today I noticed that he has three of his bottom front teeth missing! Something new almost every day!
