A Day in the Life of Simon: Another Visit with Simon

I had another visit with Simon and all his siblings. It was great to see them all playing with each other. Simon is such a cute puppy. He has lots of energy and loves attention but he also loves to cuddle. It's great because all of his siblings are very high energy, hyper puppies while Simon is hyper but isn't overbearing. If you pick him he just loves to cuddle in your arms! His ears still aren't standing up on their own like his siblings so we may have to keep an eye on them and evenntually tape them up so the cartilage in his ear becomes stronger. Our breeder tried to tape them up but all his siblings would just pull them off and thought they were something fun to play with!

While visiting with Simon the breeder had a little dog sweater that we decided to put on him to see how he'd react. It was hilarious!! I was holding Simon while the breeder put it on him and once the sweater was on him, Simon looked at me with this annoyed look. I swear he was saying "Mom, what the heck. Why are you putting this ridiculous sweater on me?" LOL! Then when we put him on the ground he would not move at all and had this embarassed look on his face.

Simon was also weighed on April 25th and he is a chubby puppy! He weighed 5.5 lbs while his brother weighed 5 lbs. The sweater he's wearing above was close to being too small. He's got a big rolly belly! He is definitely going to be a stalky boy.

My friend Shannon came with me to visit with Simon and all his siblings. We ended up spending almost 2 hours with them! It was great to play with all the puppies. They were also working on pee pad training. On this day they hadn't quite picked it up yet and instead went pee everywhere but the pee pad! The puppies also decided that the pee pad was a chew toy and ripped it all up playing with it. At night the breeder has set up a crate to start the crate training. She has removed the door and they love to sleep in it at night. I'm hoping that since he is familiar with a crate he will be easier to crate train.
