Neverland Puppy Status – Bentley (Yellow Collar Boy)
My fiance and I adopted the “Yellow Boy” (who now has a black, red and white collar…). He now goes by *Bentley*. He weighed 12.6lbs over a week ago and is only getting much bigger! (Next vet appointment is in a week, and this little guy can EAT!). He has been an absolute pleasure. He loves all of the kids in our neighborhood (it is only the two of us in our house, but he sees all our friends, family and neighbors very often) and has loved going on trips with us to visit family and friends. He’s been incredibly gentle with the youngest of kids (2/3 years old!), which I was shocked at! He falls right asleep in the car and is ready to get out to his new destination with a wagging tail.
– Bentley usually sleeps through the night… and if he has to go he has no problem giving us a wake up call :o) – Accidents in the house have been minimal… again he’s pretty good about whining if he has to go out. – Bentley even goes in his crate when he just wants a nap… so he’s really getting to feel comfortable in there – He now sits on command- much better with the hand signal, but will Sit with both hand signals and voice command – He’s enrolled in puppy classes (starts soon!)… at orientation he had a blast playing with another puppy who was actually his size! – He has met my German Shepherd from my parents house and has gotten along great with this gentle giant :o) – He LOVES toys (and he has a lot of them!)… playing tug, fetch or just simply chewing on his Kong! – He had his first football Sunday! (Pictures below!)
As a response to Mark- we’ve shown Bentley his reflection in the mirror… he looks interested for about a half a second, then wants to go play with toys! We see where his priorities are!
Here is a link to Bentley’s public photo album, there are way more pictures here (mostly of him sleeping… his favorite hobby)! 🙂 https://picasaweb.google.com/106823792306584914438/Bentley02?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCOHzr5X64f-QqgE&feat=directlink
It was great hearing all the updates!
Thanks! 🙂
