Actually, in all honesty, a whole year and a week, today. I'm a bit bad at blogging right now, so I forgot to tell you. We celebrated the big day on Friday last week by going to uncle the vet for vaccinations.
Boyo, a few days after his 1st birthday.
It was on all in all a pretty good day. Lilo was here, so she came along as moral support to the vet. Fast – and this I guess is due to Covid, the vet took Boyo into another room to give him the shot, but apparently he hadn't uttered a peep (except barking at another dog), so I was quite impressed, I must admit.
Both Boyo and Lilo was completely exhausted when we got home. We took the bus both there and home (we hardly ever go by bus, largely due to Covid), walked around town, went into the Teboden so I could renew my tea supply a little, and we also rode the escalator and elevator. It is important to take the opportunities and train for the environment, especially when it happens so rarely. I'm not entirely happy with that particular thing, but if it's Covid, so be it – and I don't feel like getting sick.
But think that I have a one-year-old dog. It is not wise. He was just tiny just now! And believe me when I say it; he's not tiny now. On the contrary – he is quite big, actually. He needs to gain some weight, but he is tall. Don't think he's growing much more in height now, but I'd guess he's somewhere in between 68 – 70 cm high. Difficult to measure – I get different results every time, but there somewhere. Ella was approx 51 cm high, so there is some difference.
Otherwise I can tell me that his first roughly young dog period has brought with it litegrand. He is generally nicer to go with, but some days he is still rough – like today, for example. But it is incredibly gratifying and grateful that his brain is starting to kick in again, because it's quite a lot with young dogs. They don't fit.
Something that, however was extremely entertaining last time i vacuumed. He is not super fond of the vacuum cleaner. Ella wanted to kill it, but Boyo is more like that he backs off and doesn't want to be too close. The last time I vacuumed, I came out to the kitchen and then, you understand, he had jumped onto a kitchen chair where he stood safe from the malicious vacuum cleaner. Right then I was most surprised and thought he was crazy, but in retrospect it's hysterically funny.
Otherwise is he much better in the stomach. Now he eats Bozita Original Wheat Free since a few months, and I have decided to continue with it. He poops better and better at it, and I see no reason to change and disturb his stomach again. I have also found another dog treats than liver slices (which does not work very well for his stomach).
