He's so cute! I'm glad he's learned how to deal with your other nuts

So... Yesterday was Tambi's birthday and Limbaugh also turned seven months to the day. We had a hike hastily planned on Saturday evening for Sunday, and things went due south Sunday morning. The Supper-sitter didn't answer his phone. It looked like he was home so I rang the door bell and knocked for about 15 minutes to no avail. F. We had no choice but to take him with us. (More details when I post a hiking thread about it.)

Anyway, not sure if the hike fried his brain or what but that dog went FREAKIN' NUTS when I left with just Ridik this morning. It's really more encompassing than that behaviorally. I swear it sounded like a 200 pound Mastiff was ransacking our house (or two grown humans inside fighting) as I stood in the driveway trying to comprehend what was going on. Chairs crashing, the deepest bark and howl I've ever heard him make, the door sounded like someone was trying to kick it down with a sofa and a thud against the front bay window that brought the curtains down had me back inside. Damn dog didn't even touch the bits of cheese and treats I left around the house for when I leave him.

This last weekend was like someone flipped a switch in his head. I'm hoping this fades after a week back in the normal routine, but I'm also a bit more realistic than that. Here we go...

do we have said pictures of this craziness.... someone is growing up......

Huh. This thread. Amazing what you come up with when searching your own stuff.

I can safely say it's over. Aside from the carnage that Coco inflicted, this dog has been way too .

Training, walking, free roam in the house, free roam in the yard, commands, sitting for everything... It has all been done with little effort on our end. The other dogs did it all for us.

I did start him on a tougher exercise regimen than I anticipated, but that was a decision I came to by evaluating him individually. Today he is almost 15 months old and completely integrated into this place like he's always been here.

So far this dog has done:
1 14er
2 10ers
2 13ers
1 11er
1 12er

and he's looking like he is going to be one seriously skilled mountain dog.









Thread done.

I miss puppy Limbaugh he is SOOOOOO grown up now!
