He is getting so big! And he is such a handsome boy. I love the bathtub play video! Mishka just recently started jumping in the bathtub on his own. I'm tempted to turn the water on to see what he'd do. Lol.

Ashleigh, that's got it started with him. He would jump in and lick and bite the faucet, so I turned it on for him. Then on a super hot day I felt bad for the little guy and I just plugged up the drain and put an inch or two of cold water in there and he had a blast. He had the zoomies for at least an hour after that.

The one I like, is that he seems to like to retrieve. He carries things around all the time and if he finds a stick or something he likes on the walk, he'll carry it all the way home. Our family had a golden puppy when I was little and I remember him doing that, my first husky never did. Its adorable.
Ha, thats so cute! There is a golden the the neighborhood that goes jogging with her owner holding her own leash! The owner just trots behind her, fully trusting the dog not to run off. Anya likes to walk proudly with a stick in her mouth (or a big leaf) but sucks at actually retrieving! She might run after something I throw but usually gets distracted by something and drops it on the way back.

Ha ha! That's so cute! Yeah his actual retrieving percentage is about 70 at home but away from home it drops to about 5%. Lol

This morning his new teeth are already coming in where the holes were, and his gums are swollen all around his front teeth and canines. I'm spoiling him with lots of frozen treats, although his favorite thing to chew on seems to be my arm.

Ouch I'd imagine that's pretty painful, like growing in wisdom teeth! xD
I hope the swelling calms down though, inflamed gums suck.

Yes me too! Although, I'm not sad to see the needle teeth go!

This is an older video, but it's Dizzy's first orange. Now every time I peel one, he's practically in my lap going crazy for a slice.

Aww, that was still in his rodent look alike phase. The circular pacing is the best.

The goofy side of Dizzy:
Watching tv in a taxi
Dizzy comes to work:
Dizzy is tired of working:
Dizzy loves his fan and chewing on the broom:
Gee, this looks comfortable:

Ha! Yeah, he looks less like a racoon and more like a dog every day. I think he's turning out to be quite handsome, even though he's entering that awkward phase. Right now, his back legs are longer than his front and his neck hasn't caught up, so he looks really silly when he eats.

Haha. Mishka lost tons of teeth at the same time and before I knew it his new ones were in. He STILL likes to chew on my arms. It was super gross when he was losing teeth though because I would have bloody slobber all over me. Ugh.

Really? I was starting to worry I was doing everything wrong with the biting thing, until he started losing teeth. I was so relieved lol. Its also the way he greets me.

Here are some new ones of my little monster. He needs a bath as I'm sure you can tell from the dirty paws, but it shows how much his color is changing.

Yeah, we had fun running around today. I love that he has to lay on top of a toy while chewing his himalayan chew.

He's definitely starting to lose that puppy look! Just for shiggles, do you know offhand how much he weighs? I know he's got far better breeding than Shadow, but since they're exactly the same age it might be fun to compare. She was 29 lbs on Tuesday at daycare, and has been gaining right around 2 lbs per week. She started losing her teeth just a few days after you posted the picture of Dizzy's teeth too, which I still thought was a tad on the early side. She still looks very puppy like in the face to me, but I also see her every day. I need to go update our scrapbook, but I really haven't gotten many pictures lately. He really is a gorgeous dog, though
