Pup turns one

It was Hank's birthday on Saturday, time has flown!

He's on big boy food now, he's also allowed the run of the conservatory while we are out as he's shown no sign of eating any plugs/furniture/ornaments, etc, nor have there been signs he's sat on the sofa in there.

In the evening he often chooses to go back there and lay in his bed next to the heater instead of smothering Gwen as the default choice, choosing his own company instead. He's really turning into a very good dog.

Less said about his lead behaviour, glove hatred, bipedal walking and counter-barking at dogs in the street the better....

Here's some of the photos I probably should have uploaded as I went along instead of the 6 month silence.

8 months...

9 months...

9 1/2 months...

10 months...

10 1/2 months...

11 months...

11 1/2 months

1 year old

18 1/2 weeks

Last post I thought he was 17 weeks, he's not, he's 18 weeks and quickly approaching being 5 months old!

Still jumping on my lap and biting my face...

And we are likely to need a stair gate soon as he can climb stairs very quickly...

And this morning he shredded his puppy pad and weed in the corner. I think it because he hadn't been able to sleep as deeply last night so hopefully it's a one off. Pads are out of bounds for the time being. He generally doesn't need them during the day now anyway.

18 weeks

Thought I might upload some funny expressions I took with my new camera over the last couple of days...

And a nice one to show you how big he's getting!

Nearly 16 weeks

First off, I am so sorry I've not responded to any comments on here yet. I finally FINALLY figured out where my comments were going- into the email account I only have for spam to go into. It's not going into there anymore, I fixed it, and I apologise. I will not be ignoring you in the future ;)

As I blogged on my other blog today, I think my camera is broken. Apart from Alex tested it for me today on Hank and it seems to work for him?!?

These are cute pictures too.

To think I got so frustrated with this puppy this morning in all his jumpy, muddy, scratchy house wrecking glory. Just look at that face. Totally forgiven.

Hank's unsuccessful attempts at burying things - 15 weeks

He hasn't learned to fill the holes back in yet. This weekend gwen became a but less scared of him and they actually seem to get along pretty well at the moment.

14 weeks

He's the right shape now, just scaled down. He's still under 4 months old but seems too big to still be a puppy- he's going to be a big boy!

But he still just about fits on my lap.

13 weeks

No posts for a while but we have been taking photos, they don't really show how much he has grown though!
