Random post :)

Just thought I would update on Flash (because I like to talk about him!)

He is 10 weeks old now. Crazy lil dude for sure! He LOVES toes-and anything associated with them (shoes, socks, etc). He has a frog stuffed toy that squeaks that goes insane over and of course loves to chase balls. My 4 year old found out I wasn't lying that Flash could bust his bouncy ball if he didn't put it away-one bite at it and it was deflated (smaller than a basketball, but decent sized plastic ball).

I am still fighting the toe nail clipping issue. He NEVER stops moving! Same with his ears, I keep trying but it feels like a losing battle. Some day maybe he will let me pretend to win this battle.

A week ago he would lay across the front of wire kennel to sleep with plenty of extra room-now in order to lay there his head is turned down the side. Funny sight to see! Won't be long and he will be too long for his 24 inch kennel. But we knew that one was coming. I was just shocked at how much he has obviously grown-looking at him everyday I don't really notice.

I had asked about introducing him to my cats before I got him. We have a tortoise shell cat that was fine with my previous dog. However, my stray kitty HATED all dogs, she goes into hiding. So I figured she would be an issue (hell, she attacks us for no reason some days!). Yet she is the one that runs around chasing flash and letting him chase her, never using claws when pawing at him, never fluffs up her fur. They are quite the pair My other cat seems to torment him-sits just far enough for him to not be able to reach her but she has no problems hissing at him, smacking him with claws (although not hard, he did have one mark on the top of his head and that was it). He doesn't give up, he thinks Baby should play with him like Buddy does I guess! She just wants NOTHING to do with him at all.

I don't have any updated pics, they are on my hubby's phone. I need to get some though! Oh, another reason I know he has grown, his head can now reach up to the seat of our couch, before he had to kind of hop to get his paws up there. Won't be long and I will have another couch potato in the family!

If you read this far, you are brave I just wanted to talk about him, since my "friend" is mad I got a basset hound. Her mom had one that just lived in a kennel (she had someone give him to her, claiming it had been wandering on the highway). anyway, it got sick, her mom wanted it to just be put down, she couldn't afford a vet bill, but the vet said he was treatable. In the end the dog died at the vet's office, apparently he said it had heart cancer? I don't know how true that is. But she said she would never own them, they have too many issues. Yep, and so do rotties and labs, of which her dog is a combo of. As far as that goes, any dog can have health problems. But anyway, she won't let me brag about my puppy, just hear a ton of well when he costs you a fortune, don't whine to me about it, i will just say I told you so. Grrrrr. Why do some people always have to be negative??
