Tucker's recent milestones: :: He begs to go into his crate at night. He'll stand by the bedroom door starting around 8pm and give us mournful eyes until we put him in his crate at 9pm. Then he stays there, without a peep, until 6am. Yes, 9 hours!!
:: Bob has taught him how to "speak" and it is pretty cute. I'll try to get some video the next time they do it. :: He's become more snuggly, which we love. He likes to be held, for a few minutes at least, and has started leaning up against us when he naps. He was very independent the first few weeks we had him so we were worried he wasn't going to be a snuggler, but he has definitely become more snuggly in the last couple of weeks.
:: His favorite spot to sleep is on top of one of the back cushions of the couch. He's sleeping there right now...
:: We bought him a little harness, which has helped make walking him much more enjoyable for all of us. There is nothing worse than the sound of him hacking as he pulls against his collar when we walk, so the harness is awesome. And he seems to like it. We're trying to take him for more walks and get him used to walking on the lease and not being a maniac.
:: We're starting puppy kindergarten once we get back from Maine in 2 weeks. We're ready for him to learn some new commands - okay, we're actually ready for us to learn how to teach him the commands. He sits like a champion already, but it will be nice for him to learn how to walk on the leash better and to do "down", "come", and some of those other commands. He is a smart little boy and we need to harness those smarts so he can use them for good instead of evil. We're also hoping puppy kindergarten will give us some insights into how to get him to stop biting. He loves to use his little sharp puppy teeth on us and its getting old. Our most common words to him are "no bites!!"...
