A quiet milestone

[HAH]

The last 2 nights, young Kipper has been de-crated - the first night because he woke up about 2pm and then didn’t want to go back in his crate, and last night we just left him sleeping behind his chair because he looked so comfy. It’s taken so long (he’s 22 months now) because he’s seemed quite happy in his crate and I wasn’t confident he’d settle out of it, but so far it’s working okay.

Last night he squeaked a bit at around 2pm so I went to check on him, he settled after 20 mins, I think it was the heat and thunder. The boy’s growing up!

Not too fast now, Kipper! You've still got a lot of puppy left in you

It's a great milestone! I still remember with enthusiasm the day I could finally collapse the crate and reclaim the corner of my living room

Well done Kipper!

Well done young lad , bless you xx You know, its strange because whilst the Reubster is very excitable , he hasnt ever been in a crate , stays on his own in the sitting room and doesnt touch a thing . I have a feeling he might be lulling me into a false sense of security though !
These milestones are so great , we can feel that we got something right , good boy Kipper xxxxx

The boy’s growing up!

Not too much I hope!

Good boy though . I think this young Labrador phase is the best, the hooligan puppy days behind them but still loving life and the training starts coming together. Good times!

 

[HAH]

Not too much I hope!

Definitely not too much!! He finally chewed through a key fixture on my fave sandals this morning (my fault for giving him access - they’re catnip to him) and yesterday scratched a hole in the skirting board (which is knackered and damp, probably smells delicious) so no fear of actually growing up for a looong time

Well done Kipper Baxter loved his crate, now he has the run of the downstairs. When we had Nevis and we decided to de-crate him on the first night,(even though we left the door open) he stayed in it, second morning he was on the rug. The third night however he scraped off the bottom half of the wallpaper of one wall Can laugh now

Good boy, Kipper...but maybe lay off mum's sandals? Sausages are so much tastier!

 

[Pepper]

Pepper says summer sandals are so much fun! I just run around with them and end up getting a treat to give them back!

Well done Kipper

What a good boy Kipper (except for the shoes and the skirting).

Last night Maxx slept on the upstairs king size bed on his own while we slept, sans dog, downstairs. Heaven. The doors and stairs were open in case he woke up and felt scared. He came down for cuddles about 6.00am and then about 6.30 it was EVERYBODY UUUUUUUPP!!! time which was announced by sitting on my chest and trying to give my face a clean. Then he bounced onto hubby who yelped and that was that.
