New Puppy... Big and Fluffy!

[SampleMM]

Oh Jill, Dozer is completely adorable.

:wub

Oh I LOVE him! He's handsome!!

 

[Sterling]

He is absolutely precious!

I had a sweet mental picture of him happily playing with all his "siblings". Sounds like a happy household to me.

 

[Jill]

He does love his brothers and sisters and he loves the yard. He isn't as happy yet inside... I think he wants to marry Kelsey when he grows up!

And at the vet's this morning, he was a hit and actually seemed to like the visit. He weighed in at 18 pounds and is 9wks old:

Aaaawwww precious baby.

 

[Sterling]

OMGosh that last pic just makes me want to kiss that widdle puppy nose!

 

[Jill]

He is doing so much better today with being an "inside" dog. We've been alternating his time indoors with outdoors (where he is very happy and confident). Gosh, it's crazy how fast you can fall in love with a puppy. I just want to make him happy and keep him safe forever

 

[Equuisize]

OMGosh I think you showed tremendous restraint on waiting a whole 9 weeks for him!

Harvey is probably lucky you didn't go down there, stay in a hotel so you could see him

every day till he was old enough to travel home. LOL

Precious pup!

He is just so doggone cute!! Love his puppy belly!!

 

[Boss Mare]

Aw, congrats Jill! He has the sweetest eyes!

 

[StarRidgeAcres]

Totally stinkin adorable!!

 

[Jill]

Thanks everyone. It's going to be hard to leave him today when I go to the office ;( He is doing so well with house and crate training and really coming out of his shell. He's such a sweet baby

 

[Jill]

H got some nice pictures of Dozer today @ 10wks old. He is fitting in so well! Thankfully, at least so far, he's not nocturnal! And sleeps through the night in his crate (in our bedroom). He needs to learn, though, NOT to pull our little dogs around by the tail. They find that very unimpressive

 

[Mona]

Jill, he is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

As far as Dozer is concerned they are just moving chew toys...

See:

And, Dozer is just too cute.

 

[Jill]

Thanks, Mona and Chanda. He is growing and changing SO fast. And is so easy to love!

Yesterday, 11wks Old:

 

[mini123]

How darn cute!!!!! Congrats!!!

 

[Jill]

Thanks

I wanted to share a couple from yesterday to keep up the "timeline" of Dozer growing up. Pictured yesterday at almost 12wks. I think I see the changes every single day in him. AND he already knows how to "sit" when told. When he is done with his shots, I think we are going to do puppy classes with him (I think we'd all enjoy it!). He is one happy, happy "little" guy -- but it's not easy to get good pictures of him as he wants to be right where you are and it's hard to get far enough away from him to get a shot

^ not wearing a lot of drool -- he's a water NUT! We need to get him a kiddie pool

Can you see his extra toes in the back? He's got fancy feet

 

[chandab]

Jill, he will love a kiddie pool. I need to get our dogs' pool back out of the barn rafters and fill it for the summer. Hubby's dog will dip her front feet in the water bucket and splash if we don't fill the doggie pool. [We do have a creek, but its too far from the house on a hot day for the dogs to want to go that far.] You might have to show him what the pool is all about, for some reason, the switch from water bucket to pool takes a time or two.

 

[Jill]

I think we're going to get his pool this weekend. He loves to play in his water bowl and he sticks his paws in it, too. I don't mind it when he does that outside, but am less impressed when he does it inside!!!

He went to the vets for boosters yesterday. He is so laid back and calm! He weighed in at 26 pounds and is 12wks old now.
