I hate to say it, but I am SO over puppy-ness. I wish I could fast forward to about 6 months of age. It would be SO much easier is a one storey house, or not having a bad knee, or not working long hours 7 days a week, it it not being so stinking hot day in and day out. Need to keep my eyes on the great dog he will be. We'll get there. I just wish he would hurry up.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Just when I think he's getting the hang of doing his business outside, we have an accident in the house. 
I'm ready for my future well-mannered, housebroken boy now! Lol. Just have to remember the work we're doing now will pay off in a few months!

enjoy the puppy stages while you can guys!!! My 1 1/2 yr old acts all grown up 
Minus trying to eat cardboard last night 
.Oh my goodness, your boy is darling!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!

I took the tape out of Enzo's ears last night because it was starting to come out anyway. Before I took it out, I was considering not bothering anymore, but after seeing the result I'm determined to keep with it. He's so adorable with his little tipped ears! I have to get some adhesive remover before I put them back up; there's still residue in them.
Anyway, here he is (this picture is from this morning. Last night right when I took it out they were a little more tipped over):

Callan is coming up to 5.5 months now....and I'm almost at the point where I can say that I really, really like this pup!
Truly! He has not had an accident in weeks. He still hasn't figured out to tell me that he needs to go outside, but neither to I ever leave it chance.
Lawn mowers, thunder storms, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners don't upset him.
I can now let him roam around the house while I'm working on my computer. He has both his den and Indy's bed (which Indy never sleeps in).
He is in the chewy phase, so still must be penned/crated when I can't watch him. He's also in the rabbit phase....Boing, boing, boing! Too funny!
His ears are mostly tipped, but fly from time to time. I stopped glueing. I decided to leave it to chance. If anything, his ears are more hound than prick, though his right ear will fly when its at attention.
His colour changes every day. As a sable merle, the merle part of him emerges and fades. He has grey tips on his ears which just make his ears look dirty! Oh well!
All to say, he is one honey of a pup! Even with crazy Indy barking at everything, Callan just does "whatever"

And here are a couple of photo updates....Not great pictures....just snapped on my Ipad....
Can't remember if I shared the 3rd one already with Callan with his head stuck in his squirrel toy.....best toy ever, btw!
I checked his weight and height.....at 22.5 weeks he is 14.6 pounds and between 12 and 13 inches. This tells me that he will be within size, but he feels pretty chunky to me right now. I'm really debating if I'm feeding him too much, but I will take this to a different thread.....
