After 8 weeks of training, Harley graduated puppy class today. I wasn't able to go because I had to work, but my boyfriend Evan said that he just barely passed the class.



The only two requirements of graduating were doing 10 "puppy push ups", which are going from a sit to a down back up to a sit 10 times, and doing a 30 second "stay". Harley was previously very good at the puppy push ups, but Evan said that Harley practically refused to do them today. It took a while, but he finally… Continue

Harley is growing up so fast!! He is a little bit over 4 months old. When we brought him home at 11 weeks, he weighed 8 lbs, and he now almost 12 lbs. I wish I would have measured his length, but it's obvious he is getting longer. He can now jump through the doggy door without assistance. We are still having house breaking issues, but I know we can't expect him to be reliable this young. He has occasional accidents, and he is slowly learning that he needs to tell us when he wants to go… Continue

Harley had his second vet visit yesterday (since we bought him). He is now 14 weeks old, and was due for his last Parvo and Distemper shots. We had already suspected that Harley is prone to car sickness. He had never thrown up during the car ride, but a bit afterwards. We always feed him at 7 AM, and we leave for work at 7:30. My boyfriend, Evan, takes Harley to work with him 3 days a week, and Harley had once gotten sick a bit after they got to Evan's office.



Well, Harley got sick… Continue

Harley had his first vet visit today, since we brought him home from the breeder's. I couldn't go, because I had to work, but my boyfriend Evan took him during his lunch time. Harley weighs a bit over 8 lbs. He will be 12 weeks old next Monday. The vet was a bit concerned with Harley's front legs. He has little knots on the sides of his legs above his paws, and she thinks it may just be because of growing, but he might have bowed legs when he grows up. Let's hope not, because bowed legs is… Continue

After 14 long hours on the road (7 hours each way), our Harley is finally home. So far, everything has been going great. We picked him up from the breeder's house at 7PM, and he stayed with us at a hotel last night. He cried for about the first hour after we left the house, but he eventually settled down. He even slept through the night without making an accident in his crate. He woke us up at 6:30AM.



We will be introducing him to our other dog, Bo, later this evening (he stayed with… Continue

It is now 4 more days until we get to bring our puppy home!! The only problem is that it is a 7 hour drive to the breeder's house. We had tried for many months to find a breeder closer to us with a litter planned, but we've had no luck until now. It is going to be the longest 7 hours of my life, I'm sure!! But, it will be so worth it. We are pretty prepared for our little guy's arrival. We bought a carrier for the ride home, a leash and collar, some toys, and some treats. We already had food,… Continue
