Jase had his final puppy shot today. Dr. Valeri checked his teeth and said, he’s younger than I thought. Then she revised his age back two weeks. She said, “He can’t be 4 months old yet, because he still has his baby teeth.”

Wow. She also said, “He is going to be HUGE.” He’s grown from 9 pounds when we got him to 34.2 pounds today. He likes bananas, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet peppers. He loves Young LIving’s Animal Scents Ointment as well as the scent of most essential oils. Animal Scents Dental Pet Chews do not last very long in his jaws. He’s inquisitive and loving. Eighty to ninety percent of the time, he’s a joy to have around. Ten to twenty percent of the time, he’s a puppy. He is able to hold his bladder all night, and has done so almost from the time he arrived — an amazing feat for a puppy. During the day, he doesn’t ask to go outside too often, but in the evening, it becomes an every twenty minute need for him.  It’s as if it’s a game.

If I’m spraying water from the hose, he simply insists on trying to catch it. This video captures his exuberance.
