And he keeps growing..

Nero keeps growing and growing! He got his corona shot this weekend, first manicure/pedicure and was weighed at 6kgs, 2kgs more than last weekend! He's getting heavy!!

He's quite a shy dog. My mother and sister came over a couple of days back and he spent most of the time sleeping. When he goes to the vet, he is quiet there too, another shot and no twitch yet. He was good in the car too except when we expected him to sit at the back without anybody, which is when he let us know his displeasure with a little puddle. Brought back in the front, he was at once the epitome of saintly car riding dogs. Luckily, we had newspapers spread out (Hail Newspapers!!) which saved the back seat from the downpour. At home, he's a tiger though...chewing bits of us and furniture being his favorite past time. The chewy toys sadly are fleeting comets in the universe of his attention.

He's slowly recognising the crate, or as we call it 'den', as his domain. Most nights, he goes into it himself without us having to entice him with treats anymore. He also likes biting the wires and chewing on the cardboard box we put in the den to restrict his movement area. We put a cloth as cover over his cage, and he takes great pleasure in pulling in into the den and chewing, fighting and rolling with it. We havent started locking him in it as yet as we feel he's still too young. But in a few weeks, we'll start with small confinements too.

Potty training continues its weary, meandering way. Most of the times now he [i]does[/i] reach the door. If we are vigilant, it happens outside, if we're not, the deed is done inside. But he still doesnt have much control, so its quite a jack in the box existence, with frequent leaps from somnabulent positions into a mad scramble to get the door open in time. Moreover, he has taken to scavenging and eating hair and such like objects, which traumatise him during pooping..and us too since he races all over the house with dangling toilette! Neeeerroooooooooo....... >.<
