Stilton the Mighty

[HAH]

Definitely good bonding time during those tough teething weeks!

Have things improved during the night @HAH ?

Thanks for asking Robyn The last 3 days we’ve had a big improvement, he’s slept a lot better over the last two nights and he’s generally less teethy. Getting 5 hours unbroken sleep has made so much difference. He’s got quite a few new teeth pushing through now, so I think the early days of them cutting through were the worst for him. He’s generally a bit more settled. As you say @Kelsey&Axel , these bonding and relationship building activities make it so much easier to deal with the tough stuff!

Morning all! Stilton is now 15 weeks old

 

[M.F.]

So cuuute!!

I can't enough of him

They grow far too quickly!

 

[HAH]

He really is shooting up! But it’s so exciting, seeing him grow and develop. He’s even more of a little dog today

Hmm - sometimes an incredibly foolish head on young shoulders!

Oh he's a gorgeous dog.

 

[Loraseal]

He is just scrumptious
Love the Tshirt slogan!

 

[Lab_adore]

I need one of those t-shirts!

 

[HAH]

It was one of my very few ‘sucked in by the Instagram ads’ purchases, I do love it. Ironically Stilton tore a couple of holes in it earlier when he was in a turbo kraken phase, another job for the needle and thread!

 

[HAH]

Night night from Stilton, who’s made himself into a sandwich

Yesterday we started the Relaxation Protocol, which I’ll document (vaguely) on the relaxation protocol thread.

We finished day 1 today, and Stilton was ever so relaxed! We’ve just had a crazy half hour, and he’s back to chilling and watching the swallows and swifts overhead.

Poor lad

Poor boy, I don't remember mine having any problems, just used to find teeth lying about!

I think it really varies with individuals. Kipper found it tough but we don’t remember it being quite this difficult. But we’re a lot more attuned now, so we might not have noticed first time round and just thought he was being awful!

Puppy class tonight, Stilton was fabulous and really tried hard. His recall was astounding! We need to work on focus games and wait.

Well done Stilton, he really is a special puppy. The floor looks very shiny, is it slippy, do the dogs cope with it?
