Oliver's Blog – December 2008 Archive (5)

So Oliver just recently celebrated his first Christmas! He didn't really understand why wrapping paper was scattered all around our house so early in the morning, but definitely took advantage of the mess! Hopping all around our house with all of his various Christmas toys surrounding him. He definitely had a good Christmas :)



He has gained 3.6lbs. since last week and now weighs 30.8 lbs at 15 weeks! What a big boy!



We haven't been working on tricks like ROLL OVER much… Continue

Oliver is now 14 weeks old! Just did my weekly weighing of him: He now weighs 27.8 lbs. which is an increase of 3.4 lbs. since last week! There's a doodle equation that is pretty accurate in terms of how big a puppy will be as an adult that I can't wait to use when Oliver is 4 months old (only 2 more weeks!). As it is right now, if he only gains 2 more pounds over the next 2 weeks, he should be 60-70 lbs. as an adult. But at the rate he's growing, I haven't seen a <3 lb. increase each week… Continue

Well, Oliver has gained a wopping 4.4 lbs. since last week. He is getting SOOOOO big!



His new thing over the past few days has been drinking out of the toilet :\ Obviously I'm not too happy about this. As soon as he hears me coming to get him out of the bathroom he very slowly pulls his head out of the toilet and stares at me like, "What? Want a drink too?" LOL Ugh! Down the toilet seats go for all eternity! Well, hopefully not for ALL eternity!



So, Oliver is completely… Continue

Oliver is growing like a weed! Not much new to report on this week...I can't believe we've had him for 4 weeks already! I have to say he is pretty much reliably potty trained with no accidents in the house for the past 2.5 weeks. He is constantly running to nudge his bells at the door and then goes right to his potty spot! In fact, he's MUCH faster than his "big" sister Chloe when it comes to pottying! hahaha Right now we're working on stay and sitting (and staying) at the door until I tell him… Continue

Oliver is getting so big! Or really, it's his legs that are getting much longer! I know I say it all the time, but he is SUCH a good boy! It's like I'm waiting for the terrible, puppy stage to kick in! He is constantly looking directly in my eyes to see what he should be doing. It's like he's having a conversation with me but only with his eyes! Whenever he's not sure what to do, I swear I can see his brain working. Usually during our eye contact during these times he will sit very… Continue
