It’s been a while since I’ve featured the new puppy on the blog (but he’s been on my Instagram and Facebook page plenty!), so it’s time for a puppy update. Foxy is now almost 8 months old and still very much led by his mouth. He chews on everything, of course – any of our body parts that come within a certain proximity of his mouth, our clothing, piano legs, any and all corners he can get his mouth around, anything he finds on the floor or the ground. He seems to especially like to bother my youngest son, now 13 years old.
Sometimes he seems amazingly smart and sometimes incredibly dumb. He mostly sits when told, but when he doesn’t get what he’s expecting quickly enough, he’ll lie down, as if he’s trying out that response to our command, just in case sitting wasn’t the correct action. He hates my laptop and will bat his paw at my hands when I’m typing, or hit the keyboard himself if I don’t move it out of the way in time.
He tries to take himself for walks by holding onto his leash with his mouth. He’s just starting to lift a leg when he pees. Yesterday my son came in from walking him and said, “He’s finally a boy.” Just in time for neutering!
And he’s very cuddly and sweet – especially when he’s not trying to bite us.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this puppy update. Tell me about your beloved fur babies in the comments.
