Walter Update

Walter is growing fast! He weighed 21.5 lbs on August 5th and we are pretty sure he has put on 8-10 lbs since then. We are almost done with our first 18 lb bag of dog food. The boy loves to eat!

He knows sit, shake and down. Although he doesn't always obey. He is potty trained... knock on wood. He now knows to sit at the back door when he needs to go outside, which we are very excited about!

All in all he is a good puppy. His sleep schedule is still a little annoying. He is usually up at least once during the night (sometimes more) to go outside. Going back to sleep isn't always his favorite, but he is learning.

Monday is a big day for Walter. He is getting NEUTERED!! We've been preparing him for the big day, but I don't think its hit him yet. :) He is also having his dew-claws removed on his hind legs. They are normally removed at birth, but not Walter's. There is no bone in the hind dew-claws. We were told they could can catch and rip off if we do not have them removed.
It is going to a long day for the little guy. Dylan has the privilege of picking Walter up tomorrow night. We are hoping for a speedy recovery because we are going to the lake for Labor Day weekend. Hopefully we will be able to continue our swimming lessons.

Here are the latest photos from our Sunday at the park.
