almost 10 weeks old

I can't believe that Rumor will be 10 weeks old tomorrow! He has been so much fun so far and I'm quite impressed with how well he and Dylan are getting along... that is sorta an added bonus :)

I have been doing very basic stuff with Rumor, in terms of training. We have worked on learning his name, sit, down, come and lots of attention games. I swear to god, on Monday he didn't even look like my puppy -- it looked like his legs grew about 1/2 an inch in 1 day! Very odd.... he also looked like a much fatter puppy than the day before.... my, how they change. I have been playing tug quite a bit with him and working on recalls.... mostly, just basic obedience stuff. Rumor has been introduced to the tunnel, a VERY low a-frame and teeter.... he could have cared less about all of them.... he was just happy it was his turn to play! He is also very good about sitting/waiting for his food while I'm making breakfast/dinner... and when he wants to come out of the crate... it takes him a second, but then he remembers he has to sit nicely before he can come out to play.

His right ear is starting to stick up a bit now.... looking like it will be tipped, at the moment, but still too early to tell for sure. I haven't seen his left one up yet, but his right one will stick up a fair amount now -- very cute.

Right now, I couldn't be enjoying "puppyhood" anymore... Rumor has been fantastic! Most of all, I'm very excited that he's a good sleeper :) It seems that my alarm clock is what wakes him up every morning... which is much better than him choosing when we get up
