The following is an excerpt of an email sent to both Chloe’s Mom and I from Jake’s family. I get great updates but this is my most recent one that I wanted to share. Enjoy!
I was chasing Jake around the house with the UDOG until I read that Chloe went outside. I took my boy outside and he immediately peed. HAPPY DAYS! He went to the door a few hours later and was whining. I thought, “No way”. Sure enough, as soon as he hit the ground he ran to the lawn and squatted. He poos out their, too! I find that amazing! I never did a thing. I told Jake he was a good boy and Ted ran to Jake and peed. Yes Ted, you are a good boy, too! They admired each others accomplishments and ran back in the house to continue bonding. The picture of Jake with his ears suspended in the air and Ted in hot pursuit is another “bonding” activity, as is chewing on the same ligament, at the same time, in the same place (we have four of these 2 foot long tasty delights). I stay fairly close, as you can see, to remind them that sharing does not mean 2 inches for you and 22 inches for me! The “brat dog” with his tongue out was actually taken when I had the camera on continuous mode and Jakey yawned! Jake is growing so fast. He weighed 8 lbs. 15 ozs. on Friday (one week ago today) at the vet. He was shy two days of being ten weeks old. Ted weighed 8 lbs. 11ozs. At 12 weeks. Jake is “running” up and down stairs for a week now. Ted took several days to master the stairs.
Mary’s off work today and is sitting in the floor with T and J saying “sit”. I looked and Jake stood up when Mary said “sit”. He thought a second and then sat. Of course Ted was SITTING also. Jake knows I’m mom and runs to me when he is scared, wants food, loves or I enter the room. He loves playing with Ted! How are Chloe and Casey doing together? It sounded like Casey was warming up to Chloe. Do they play with each other? How big is Chloe? Is she a good eater? Is Chloe still on the quieter side (?) versus Jake, who sounds like a herd of stampeding horses as he enters the room!
…Oh geese, I just had to take Jake out of his water bowl! This is the third time I found him splashing in his water bowl LOL. Ted never did that. Jake is so cute!
…Take care everyone. I hope all is going well and I’m looking forward to hearing more stories and seeing more pictures, xx!
