Birthday celebration!

Today was the first really nice day here in Central Ohio in... well, all month really! So Bob celebrated the lovely weather and his birthday by spending some time outdoors with his buddy, Oliver.

And after his outdoor exercise, Bob was exhausted!

4 weeks old today!

Oh my, has it really been so long since I have done a Bob update? Things have been pretty hectic here; cuddling him has taken priority over posting about him in my free time. I have still beent aking photos though, and you can see the most recent HERE. So, where to start?

 He is 4 weeks old today and weighed in at 2 lbs 3 1/2 oz this morning. That puts him about the same as Piper and Drummer (first litter) and still a little less than Daz at this age and a half pound less than Vettel was at this stage! Though Bob may have a little more roly poly going than they did...

He has become pretty active in the last week. Since he doesn't have littermates, I expected him to take a little longer to get up and going on his legs. But now that he is, he's pretty darn good at it!

More to come!

Photos

I know I am VERY behind and a BAD puppy mamma for not posting for so long. But I have at least uploaded all photos up t today and you can see them HERE.

Happy 4th of July!

Bob hopes everyone had a happy and safe Independence Day. He ate and grew. : )

Days 6/7

Finished toenails! He actually wasn't too bad for the back feet. He did make cute little trilling noises. They end in what is almost a little "rrrruff!" noise.

Just about his favorite position (other than eating) seems to be laying between Fada's front legs.  I think he misses having a brother or sister to cuddle with. Poor baby! He's going to be lonely when his ears and eyes start working and he realizes how alone he is. : (

He is getting around a little better every day. Hasn't actually gotten OUT of the nest box, since that first day when he was looking for Mama. But he has been climbing up the edge. I assume by the end of the week I'll take that small box out and he'll just be in the 3' x 4' box, which will really make him look tiny!
