Just some cute pics

Here are just a few more pics.

16 weeks

George is over 4 months old now. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was writing about how he is 3 months old. Time is definitely flying. He had a vet appointment last Saturday and weighed in at 33lbs. The vet said at 16 weeks that is a good estimator to a half-way total weight point. So we're thinking based on that George will be around 70lbs fully grown, which would be fine with us. But then the vet said his paws are still pretty big so he definitely has a lot more growing to do. But we're still thinking he top off at around 70lbs. Well at least that's what we're hoping. Haha. Other than that there's nothing new. He has some red bumps on the insides of his back legs, but the vet said that's really common in puppies and it will clear up on its own once his immune system realizes they are there and shouldn't be. They don't seem to bother George at all. He's not scratching or biting at them so he should be fine. We've been taking him to a field to run around in the past 2 weekends and he loves that. We do too. He's typically pretty pooped afterwards which is always nice.

Our "Puppy"

Well its official. George is getting huge. Haha. We're not sure exactly how much he weighs at this point, but its over 30lbs. We have a vet appointment on Saturday so we'll know for sure then. I can hardly pick him up anymore. We had another puppy class last night. George was good as usual. He played in the beginning with this little lab puppy named Lexi. George did his normal routine where he stayed on his back for most of the play. Well at least until he realized he out weighed her by over 10lbs and he could get on top of her. Once that discovery was made we quickly broke them up for obvious reasons. But it was fun to see him playing with the other dogs.

The weather has been sunny the past fews days which is always nice. House-breaking I say is 90% there. We still have an accident once every other week, but we're definitely on the right path. Our biggest thing right now is that every evening between the hours of 7 and 10 he has to pee like 15 times. He goes to the door every time, but its still annoying. We're told that is just the puppy in him and in a few months it will go away. We'll see.

1 month down

I can't believe we've had George for over a month. Well to be honest, it feels like its been a lot longer than that. Haha. George's crate has been permanently moved downstairs and he's done fine with it. We never hear a peep out of him. We put a fan on him at night and during the day and we think he really likes that right now. With all his puppy fur he gets hot very easily. We had already removed the bed from his crate, but by doing that, he became a very loud puppy at night when we were all trying to sleep because his nails would make a lot of noise on the crate whenever he moved. We knew that something was going to have to change. So one night we just decided to leave his crate downstairs instead of bringing it up to our bedroom and we're so glad we did. Other than that, we're just enjoying watching our boy grow. He's over 30lbs now and it shows. We love him so much.
