15 Weeks and Growing

Ruff-lo everybody. It's been awhile since I last barked at you. I've been busy growing, going to puppy classes and the worst of all "the vet." It's has been a busy few weeks, here's a quick review.

My puppy education classes have been going ruff-tastic. I pick up on all my signals very quickly and just love it when my Daddy is pleased with the results. I have the sit, stay, leave it, take it and come command down fairly well. The only signal I have trouble with is down, but I heard a lot of Danes have the same issue. It's just such a long way to all the way down when you are this big. Unfortunately, I had to miss my last class due to being at the vet so long.

My last vet visit I came in it a shade under 33 pounds. Which seems average for my breed. I've been adding 4 pounds per week on average. At this past visit I was put on some medications for what my vet seems to think are little infectious bumps on my face. They don't seem to bother me, but my family and vet don't want them to spread. So I was put on some fancy, light-sensitive antibiotics and a cream to put directly onto these bumps. Other than that I am healthy as a horse and starting to look like one also.

The family life has been pretty hectic also. We are getting ready to move to a new house along with trying to spend as much time as possible outside.

In a couple weeks I'll be getting my rabies vaccine and then I can finally go to the groomer. My nails are in desperate need of a trimming. I'll have new pics posted soon. Bark at you later.

11 Weeks & Growing

Ruff-lo everybody. Scooby here with a short update. I turned 11 weeks old yesterday, June 18th. I'm growing at a very nice pace. I'm weighing in at a smidge over 22 pounds and have gained significant height. My days have been filled with playing, sleeping and my personal favorite, EATING!

Recently I was over visiting some other puppies at the grandparents' house and I had so much fun playing with them. They were both a little bigger than me, but I quickly shedded my shy exterior to have some fun. Though it seems the stress of the drive back and forth has given me a sore stomach once again. Upon our return home my stool turned to a very loose movement. We have tried the prescription wet food to get me back to a firmer stool, but unfortunately that didn't work. My Daddy has now moved on to a ground beef and rice diet which has seemed to have a better result. I've been eating just that for the last 24 hours and my stool has been a bit stiffer.

Tomorrow I'll be back at the vet for another check-up and my least favorite thing in the world, SHOTS! Hopefully it will be over quick. The last time we were there it took forever and a day. Bark at you later.
