Puppy Progress: Fenrir, The Early Years

So Smart!

As he gets older we notice that he looks at us like he is really trying to figure out our actions. I think he is the smartest dog I have ever owned. Everytime I turn the camera on to get a candid picture of him, he hears the noise the camera makes when it turns on and he gets up from what he is doing. But if I play a song on the computer he won't get up for that. He remembers what the sound of the camera means I think.

Dog Park

We were so proud of our baby today! He and big sister Roxy went to a dog park together and both had a blast. We were especially proud of Fenrir because he socialized so well with so many dogs! There were a ton of dogs there. A Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Saint Bernard, two huge Great Danes, some pit bulls and a ton of adorable mutts! He did not get in any fights, and he played very well.

Neutered

Today we took little Fenrir to be neutered. There is a special program here in Bakersfield through the SPCA that enables pet owners to get their animals spayed and neutered for a fraction of what the Vet costs. However, this means they took him to Fresno for the procedure. So we don't get to pick up our baby boy until tomorrow :(

Most of Fenrir's baby teeth have fallen out, but he has not gotten his adult canines yet.

We have noticed a few black hairs sprouting on the top of Fenrirs forehead, and the black hairs at the tip of his tail seem to be climbing up toward his back.
