the third week


He learned to climb the stairs, which is another big trouble in this house now among long list of other things. He can go upstairs in no time, but he doesn't know how to go down in the same speed and efficiency yet. Thus, this expression.

my favorite pic of him so far

he was waiting behind the screen door for me, whenever I was out in the yard.

happy three, on Saturday morning

book helps

In this house, the male dominates: the new puppy dictates how many times he wants to bite my hands, jumps into my face attempting to bite my nose off, tears my socks off, roars or barks at me without an obvious reason, or for the better occasions only bites and clings to the edge of my pants as if he enjoys being dragged along the floor. A good sweeper, or some sort.

Thank god, the book said, the nip, biting, jumping, and the unseemingly excitement towards to jump onto the counter top are all common, especially for a puppy. There are ways to correct those habits, that is called "dog training".

Am I alreay lined up to the puppy training class? AS SOON AS he gets all the required shots done.

Before that, I am reading... and continue to wear socks in the house.

Cartman's first vet visit

Dr. Ueno
1820 W Campbell Ave.


Met one 13 years old spaniel in the dog hospital, two golden retrievers, huge, over 75 pounds.

Cartman pretended to be sweet and cute in the blue basket, but our Vet was quick to know he is a hard-headed boy. He is!

On the way to hosipital, Cartman was confined in his Crate, whining, chewing the car seat. I was claiming to throw him out of car.

In vet's office, he just poped his small head, looking around, his innocency wowed the other dogs and dog owners, which made me a proud mum, busy giving him treats. What a sneaky trick!
