The Jones Thread :)

[CharlieDog]

First, he looked like this

And was the most cutest thing ever. And did a lot of this

The he got a bit bigger and started going places with me. And wearing silly costumes like this

And finally got a name after two weeks!

Then he started looking more like this

Ohai. Where have you been? by CharlieDogist, on Flickr

And doing more of this

Aha! Gotcha! by CharlieDogist, on Flickr

And a LOT less of this

He's also doubled his weight, and quite nearly doubled his height. Weigh in/height check is Mondays. He was 4.5 pounds when I got him. On the 7th, he was 5.5. On the 14th he was 6.7. We'll see what he is this Monday, besides a booger. His ears have hit the wonky stage, one is trying to be a Collie ear, the other is trying to be a Lab ear. He's been to Petsmart and Tractor Supply several times. The feed store, a couple parties/get-togethers and a few different family members houses. He's met all of my dogs except Knox, my mothers Boxers, my sisters Huskies and her Dane and my friends GSD mix.

He's finally quiet in the crate at home (after nearly three weeks of nonstop screaming) and as long as I'm playing Modest Mouse (seriously, this guy has taste in music) is quiet in the car. He knows "sit" "down" and "wait" and is learning that the leash isn't evil, and he still has enough puppy in him that running away makes him come hauling butt to you.

He's quite a lot of fun, and I can't wait until he's old enough (and has all of his puppy shots, or at least the ones I'm comfortable giving) to start working on the floor and going places. He's attending a puppy socialization class at the end of the month as well, and when he's had his last round of puppy shots he'll be going to daycare a few times with my brother.

I'll be updating this thread with occasional pictures from the 365 I'm attempting to do with him, as well as our 52 weeks of Chaz dogs that I'm ALSO attempting to do with him. We'll see, but it's quite a lot of fun doing this with a puppy. It'll be interesting if I do keep up to see the first and last pictures in the set, so wish us luck!

I'll also be trying to keep a training log here with everywhere we go and what we're working on. Hopefully.

Aww.....he's so adorable.....love watching as a pup grows up

[Linds]

Cutest little face ever. He should be allowed to do whatever he wants. Period.

He's adorable! And is Jones his official name?

[Toller_08]

He is so adorable! He sounds like a really nice pup. I am excited to see what he's going to look like as an adult. :-)

Also, Journey is glad to see she's not the only one who has to endure goofy tape on her ears sometimes.

Very irresistible face, Jone's is so precious! Make sure to always take photos of him and share here because time will surely fly so fast...

[CharlieDog]

Thanks everyone! Jones is his official name. We're getting ready to go out and have a big day again.

And Toller, I have no idea what to do with his ears at this point. This picture shows what they're doing the best, and I have no clue how to get the one that's fallen over to get uppy like the other one. I'm going for tipped ears, not hanging or rose ears if I can get away with it lol

He's so stinking cute!!! Seriously adorable.
