Dooly, the chow mix puppy!

[Cali Mae]

Bad phone pictures, mainly because although he was laidback (apparently they just took him for a nice long walk), he kept looking around. He's eleven weeks old, and I bet at least thirty pounds. He's a hefty little thing, and his fur is probably the softest thing I've ever felt. Super sweet and loved giving kisses too. My dad's girlfriend has read up lots on Chows so I think they're prepared well-enough.

So +1 for my dad for getting a crate and crate training... and +1 for Dooly because he's hilarious and crawled on his stomach to get to his water dish.

He got the water all over himself and the carpet in the process.

He went limp right in my arms and since my friend wanted to hold him, it was like lugging a fifty pound weight because he was just still.

Pretty sure he was yawning here, he was so tired!

No caption necessary...

Conclusion, Dooly is adorable (although I did tell Cali she's still my favourite girl ever) and I'm proud, and surprised, at how much preparing my dad did.

Super adorable. Sometimes I wish dogs would stay young always.

He is definitely adorable! It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at nearly eighty pounds. He weighs at least thirty pounds at eleven weeks old.

He was far from lazy when we visited today! I brought Cali with me and she actually loved him... when he wasn't trying to jump on her. He's used to playing rough with his littermates, but when he was being respectful of her space, she liked him. He was in love with her! Completely infatuated and wouldn't even pay attention to a treat because he was so busy looking at her.

He also decided to try yanking my earring out and ran off with a paper towel roll. I brought him a bunch of old toys that Cali never liked and he adored them all. His sit seems to be coming along well too, my dad's girlfriend was working on it with him and Cali heard "sit" from the other side of the room and sat down... she'll listen to anyone when treats are involved. (on the other hand, I successfully taught her to spin in the other direction last week)
