Oliver Update













As I write this, I'm wondering if my next blog entry should be, "Willow Update" as Matt might think I am playing favourites. He's very sensitive to making sure Willow isn't left out by me ever since Oli came along.

Oliver is now almost 5 months old now. Time flies. At his last vet appointment, he weighed 8 pounds which is about a pound more than we expected him to be full grown and he's still growing for a bit. That's okay!

Oliver can be quite playful, especially in the morning. He has started to bark at the fireplace, the t.v., new visitors and windows. He has started to chew more which has not been so good for my bras and socks! He loves walking and is rather spazzy on his lead...but so entertaining to watch. His ears fly back and his hair goes crazy in the wind has he hop-runs along with a great amount of gusto for a little dude.

Oliver likes to steal Willow's food and her tennis ball. He likes to get her attention but is not too sure what to do with it when he has it! :)

He loves a tummy or ear rub and is o so cute when he's sleepy! He'll sleep just about anywhere. He loves our 'sock' bag of single socks, my piles of clothes and anything cloth-like on the floor. He does not require expensive toys as a toilet paper roll will do. Just like a kid eh?

He can 'sit' and 'come' but I have to work on all the other commands.

This spring should be interesting-we caught a glimpse the night before he went back to the groomer-the boys took him for a run in the mud and puddles-when he came back he looked like a wet sloppy cat! O well, he can join the boys in their dirt fest-they will all have a blast!
