Benny boy has had his second jab. He will be allowed out next tuesday evening. In the meantime, he is going to agility training tonight for more socialisation, and he can be touched by people, so the vet says. He also had a chip installed, and has wormer/flea treatment for 4 months.

He barely fits in the cat crate we got him in, and had put on about 25% of his weight since 2 weeks ago!

The three of them are mixing much better now. I'm sure we will continue to have our moments, especially as he gets bigger and stronger. He follows Spike about like a long lost uncle, which is quite sweet.

Any house training issues at present are purely my fault, and the long nights. I think it is better to have him go in his wee tray than to give in to a middle of the night expedition; he might come to expect it.

The previous photos already seem to have a much smaller puppy in them than the one I have now! I took him to agility to watch last night, he seems to be fine with that. Was telling everyone they can't touch him, which they didn't all take well, but it seems to me that people putting thier fingers in his mouth is one of the riskiest things. I'll be glad when everyone can play with him though, he needs the socialisation. They said he could come training pretty much once his jabs are done. He needs his little noddle occupying, because he is already bored.

Grrrrr!

Ben continues to settle in. First jabs done, second due in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to get him out and about, first with training dogs (they have their jabs etc up to date), and then in the woods!

I can say goodbye to any semblance of normality in my life!

Here's Ben
