Waldo and the Vet and Birthday Party

Well, yesterday we took Waldo to the veterinarian clinic for a checkup. He weighs 19.8 pounds and we had to up his food intake to 1 cup of food 3 times a day. The staff and the doctor were very nice and he got plenty of attention. I got to look through the microscope at Waldo's fecal sample. It was kind of cool, and the good thing was there were no bugs, worms, etc.

Heather just had a birthday party so six rather loud girls, including my sister, came home from school with her. Waldo loved, was loved on, and held all afternoon. Even balloons popping loudly didn't scare him.

And finally at the end of the day he:

CRASHLANDED ON SHANE'S BED FOR A NICE LONG NAP!!

Happy 12 week birthday, Waldo!

Well, Waldo will be turning 12 weeks on the 10th of November. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. With the time change and all, he would be getting up at 6am but when he thinks it's 6am it's really 5am. Today I'll post a video of Waldo doing his commands, and a bunch of pictures. About a week ago, a reporter from the local newspaper came out to interview me and he took about forty pictures of Waldo but he could only use three. So today I got on the front page with Waldo. Like I said before, the public is tired of all the politics so this gave them a break. Today Waldo rode around in the car with us, he got to go into the county administration building. He was a very good boy when we went in, he just plopped himself down on the carpet while we waited for Mom to finish what she was doing.

Waldo enjoyed playing with Sadie and Shane on Sunday. He took turns biting their tails and legs. As you can see he had a lot of fun and Sadie was nice to him.

Stuff Waldo Does

Well, there's a lot of things Waldo does. Several times a day he gets practice with his various commands and in the morning we walk him around the neighborhood or at a different location.
5am- gets up, goes potty, I make him go back to sleep
6am- Mom comes to get Waldo to feed him 3/4 cup of puppy kibble

6:30/7:30am- Waldo takes morning nap, then I take him out to "go"
7:30/7:45am- plays with Shane, biting his tail and stuff

11/11:30am- Waldo gets fed again
So you get the basic idea of what he does in the morning. This is what he does in the afternoon:
3pm- eats with Shane
3:30/4pm- sleeps in laundry room or in kennel

Wado knows his "sit" very well along with his name and "stand". He's doing very well on the lead and everything, so all and all, Waldo's doing very well. Yesterday we went and walked around at some stores and Waldo got to ride in the car with us, so he was all tired out when we got home.
