We weighed in at 5 lbs 2 ounces and somewhere around 9 3/4 inches.
Even though we had an ice storm and single digit temps, we did really well on potty training except for Tuesday; Brodie was a lean, mean peeing machine that day! We've alternated between getting up about 5 am and sleeping through till 6, 6:30 ish this whole week. He crashes sometime between 8 and 9 - flat out on the floor.
On our socialization, we met snow, ice and today rain - we are NOT a fan of puddles! We like sticks, frozen ice balls. We listen to our calming dog CD every day, really loud! The crying baby elicites concern from both dogs (we have a piebald small standard doxie), as do the meowing cats, brother barks a lot at the doorbells. Funny, but both Kooper and Brodie do NOT like the sound of one of the dogs on the CD. We play fetch for hours and LOVE retrieving paper towel rolls! We are not afraid of doors slamming (2 older kids in the house), or washing machines or vacuums. We get 'brushed' with a slicker every morning, just a bit, and are not fizzed by the dremel - but have only listened to it, haven't actually used it - seems like it would be a good chew toy!
We've done LOTS of car rides - both with big brother and without. We went to Home Depot last week, may try Lowes today. I've met the scary school bus that comes in the dark with lots of lights, and the not so scary school buses that come other hours. We've met the trash truck and yesterday met the UPS truck and driver! The UPS man delivered a tunnel and even one of the cats got in on the action!
We went to puppy class on Tuesday night where Brodie was the youngest but bravest! Went right up to a big rottweiler puppy to try to get him to play - when he wouldn't, Brodie went up to a 19 week old harlequin great dane pup - seriously his paws were the size of Brodie. He met kids and people and seems to think humans pet him - alot!
