The Big "Boy"

George has had an interesting week. He was neutered this week and we have had to limit his exercise/energy while he's healing. That has been the interesting part. George is used to going out every night and running like crazy for at least 20 minutes. We haven't been able to do that so he's having to let that energy out in other ways, typically bad puppy ways. He's over 50lbs now. He's been jumping up at us a lot more and has been craving a TON of attention. We're hoping once he's healed in another week and we can get back to his regular exercise schedule that some of those bad behaviors will back down a little bit. For now we just have to stay stern and consistent with him no matter how annoying it gets.

George is 5 months old!

This weekend George turned 5 months old. Its very exciting to see him getting bigger. Not much has changed though. He's weighing in at 45lbs. We're still thinking he'll be around 70-75lbs full grown. However, his paws are still very big so we'll see. We play ball with him every night in this open space outside in our neighborhood. I think it really makes the world of difference to get him some solid running every night. He loves it. And we'll love how much he sleeps after. Haha. So these pics show his sleepy time. :)

Too tired to stand...

George cracks us up. He was just too tired to stand and drink I guess. Cutie. :)

Almost 5 months!!

George will be 5 months old next weekend! He's such a good boy. He's definitely spoiled rotten too. (See pic with him surrounded by toys). The thing lately with the toys is they don't seem to last all that long. It will only take a day or two before a toy needs to be retired due to holes and missing limbs. So today we bought a new set of what seems more durable toys. We'll see. Ha.

George is developing his bark lately. He'll bark a couple times every now and then. Its a very deep classic sounding golden bark. I know we'll kick ourselves later for saying...typing...this, but we love it. It just shows his personality more and that's always exciting.

Other than that, nothing much new. These are the most important things:]

1. George is getting bigger everyday. Paws still huge.
2. He can sit, sorta stay (working on that), paw shake, lay down and roll over on his side, which will soon be a full roll over.
3. He insists on having something in his mouth when he is outside. Usually it is one of his toys, but if he doesn't grab one on the way out then the walk will consist of him trying to find a piece of bark or branch constantly, which is slightly annoying.
4. He still loves Uggs, but we've determined it is an attention thing. He never tries to destroy them. Just likes to bring them to one of us.
5. He's absolutely adorable and we love him so much. :o)
