Blu's Update

Blu's Monthly Update



It has been another full filled month with this beautiful girl! Its crazy to think just four week ago she was 16 lbs. and now we are at a whopping 28! Her coloring is changing everyday and her fur is still as soft as ever. Everyday it seems like I learn more and more of her funny quirks!


Quirks: This is by far her weirdest quirk. We tried to feed her meals by learning new tricks or having her work it with her food dispensing toy. However, every once in awhile she will eat from a bowl or in this picture a container and when she doesn't have to work for her food, she simply lays down and slowly but surely finishes her food!
Her other funny quirk is her lack of self- awareness. She insist that she is still that six pound pup that can fit under the couch, the beds, and rest her head on pillows. Several times she has gotten stuck under the couch now and as you can see in this picture below, she just must fit on the pillow still! She must!



                                
Friends: Her number one best friend I would have to say is still Jaqen H'Ghar. Although the dominance has shifted due to her size, he still gives her a run for her money! Every week she sees her friend Ruby on their walks and has spent some time with her cousin Redford (who still have some height on her) and this superbowl weekend she spent lots of time with her other cousin Buster! 




Tricks: This picture here is our new favorite trick! Its her "sit pretty" trick! But lets see we have been lacking on the trick learning because we have been focusing more on walking, but she knows all her previous tricks still : sit, lay down, rollover, shake, give me ten, jump up, stay, crawl, go to your room. We have added: sit pretty, turn around, look at me, just up onto things, jump off of things, she place her paw anywhere you say paw, gentle, and she knows how to transition from a lay down to a sit. Smart girl!

Blu's Update


Blu's Monthly Update




Boy, has this month been fun! By looking at those two pictures you wouldn't even think its the same dog; she has changed so much. She surprises me everyday with how smart, loving, and how she is unlike any other dog I have ever met.

Toys: The first few weeks she showed no interest in any toys, however, that all changed once I gave her an antler! After we had her for three weeks she expanded her interest in toys and well lets just say she is nothing shy of spoiled in that department. She has everything from a stuffed hedgehog, every size ball, ropes, bones, and lets not forget one of her favorites, her Himalayan Yak Milk Bone.

Tricks: Her very first trick was sit, which was the by far the easiest thing to teach her. She is a total sponge though. Shortly after sit she picked up : lay down, rollover, shake, give me ten (shake with two hands), jump up on hind legs, stay, crawl, and go to your room.


Friends: Her very best friend I would say would have to be her feline brother, Jaqen. They can't get enough of each other! They wrestle all day and chase around the house. The cutest thing is that Jaqen cares for her like his own. He cleans her and whenever she has an accident, he pretends to bury it for her. This month has been full of new friends though! She has met: Lucy (black lab), Mac (yellow lab), Bennett (red lab), Ruby (maltypoo), Captain (Brittany), Buster (Aussie), Chappy (Wheaton Terrier), Redford (Goldendoodle), Waldo (Chaweenie), Tula (Boston Terrier), Guinness (black lab), and of course Mochi & Moose (frenchies).


There a little update for anyone who is interested in Blu's journey! Until next month!
