It's been over 4 months since the pups were born and it seems like years ago! As you all know, we've also welcomed a baby into the family since then. I wanted to update this with a few photos of Ripley (we called him Patch when we had the entire litter).
Ripley is settling in. It has been an interesting couple of months. As you all know by now if you didn't prior to picking up your pup, they are a lot of work! Thank goodness the are so cute! We've been through puppyhood before but Ripley has posed different challenges than Maisie did as a pup. He LOVES to harass Maisie so we have to separate them to give "old" Maisie a break. He took a bit longer to house-break than Maisie, although he only ever had trouble holding his bladder, which is better than the alternative! And he hasn't had an accident on the carpet in a month.
At about 4.5 months, we are training him to walk on a leash and he heels quite well. He will sit, stay and come when he is called, although he only listens to "Here!" when we are having obedience sessions and he is focused. Enjoy the pictures and if any of you puppy owners send us pictures of your pups, we'll post them here for all to see.
Ripley at about 8-9 weeks, shortly after his litter-mates left!
The two trouble-makers. Ripley is about 12 weeks old here:
Ripley is about as close as he's ever been to Baby Tess, just long enough for a picture, he is 4 months here:
These were taken just this week, at about 4.5 months:
