Updates Coming

In the meantime check out Kirin's new friend.

8-16-07

Just a quick update on the pooch. Took him to the vet this week, he now weighs a whopping 43lbs. He's a moose I tell ya. We had a nice visit with his cousin Abby, I wish I had remembered to take pics while we were there, but I'm a forgetful mommy sometimes. I do plan on getting some more taken this weekend and will have them posted soon.

Peace~

Kirin

Some shots of Kirin relaxing and one of him in his new harness.

Kirin and Sassy

So I got Kirin one of those cow hooves. It was filled with peanut butter and he loved it. So did Sassy. Here's some pics.

Not much to update, figured out we're walking a little over 3 miles every day, Kirin is learning to get along with the kittens. It's funny watching them interact, they are under close supervision. He doesn't know that right now they're fragile. He loves to play Tug, with that we have to be very careful that we don't lose that we're the boss, not him. We'll have to upgrade his kennel this week too, the other one is starting to get a bit small. Someday I'll talk to Mike and ask for pictures of Gator and Lizza and post them so you can guess who Kirin looks more like. :)

Whew, what a weekend

Kirin had a good weekend. First, we stayed up late on Sunday to make him a new toy. We tied some rope to one of his rope toys and tied it to a pole and he chases it in the backyard. We've been going on 1/2 hour walks really early in the morning too. Had a vet appointment on Tuesday and he got his shots, tough dog, didn't even flinch.
Still in good health and weighs in at week 11 at a whopping 21.20 lbs. He's growing. Here's some shots of him lounging.

New Toys

Kirin got some new toys this weekend.

Kirin

How's Kirin adjusting? I'd say rather well. He sits at the door now without prompting for his leash. He's doing pretty well with the housebreaking, we've had a few accidents, but he's good. He likes his bamboo brand combat toys. And he's adjusting pretty well to our schedule.

Kirin's second day!

We went to the Vet today, for his first check-up. He weighed in at 15.9 lbs at 8 weeks old. He's in great health, good lungs, good heartbeat, no worms, puppy teeth, inital trimming of his toenails, and the vet staff just ate him up. He is a ham, the breeder, Mike May, did a wonderful job with his pups and dogs. Thanks.

The vet's assistant tried to give us some science diet dog food, which is fine, but we're using all natural Canidae dog food. We also don't have to worry about recalls either.

He got his Heartguard and his Frontline to keep him protected and we set up the next appointment for his next vaccinations. We're also considering a puppy kindergarten to make sure he's properly socialized, and to start some training.

Speaking of training, Kirin is learning "sit", "down", "kennel", "come", "no", and "potty". He's also accepted his collar and doesn't mind the leash either. Since bulldogs are "mouthy" and like to chew things, we got him a kong and some toys from the bamboopet company. He also likes the empty 20 oz bottles.

The Car ride.

After meeting Kirin's mom and dad and extended family for a bit, we left upstate Pennsylvania and headed back to Kentucky and Kirin's new home.

It was a 12 hour drive with us stopping periodically for Kirin to get water and potty breaks.

Here's some pictures, he slept for most of the ride which was nice. He did really good for his first car ride.

1st post!

We leave in 8-10 hours for a 10 hour trip to pick up the puppy, aka Kirin. I plan on using this to share his adventures and photos as he grows.
