Yukon gets neutered...

What have you done to me?

Well it has been a little while since my last post but today was a pretty big day for Yukon; he got micro-chipped and neutered!  Double ouch!!  Needless to say he isn't very happy at the moment.  He had a little bit of food and water after he figured out how to get the Elizabethan Collar over his bowl, poor little fellow.  Ten days of the collar and he is on sedatives and pain killers.

Oh Dear!!

Yukon has been doing really well, one more week of puppy school to go. He was evaluated yesterday; he passed with flying colours, good job Yukon.  He has Sit, Lay, Come, Leave, Down, Off commands down and walks very well on the lead.  He is working on Stand and for fun Shake, he is getting them down pretty much already.  He now weighs over 30lbs and is still looking really good, the mask looks like it is going to stay and that make me happy.  Yesterday he jumped out of the Jeep on his own, a little hesitant but he finally made the leap.  He was very pleased with himself after that accomplishment.   I hope he has a quite night tonight and a restful day tomorrow; I am hoping he will be back to his playful self very soon.

Yukon - 21.5 Pounds and climbing...

Just a short one today.  Yukon has started on the Down command and is doing very good!  His Sit, Stay and Leave are working well for him as well.  Still walking nicely on the lead as well.  Way to go Yukon!  Weight today 21.5 lbs.

Yukon - Learns to garden...

 OK I did not set this up...  Yukon went outside to go to the toilet, I was on the deck waiting for him to do his business.  He did his business and went under the deck where I couldn't see him from above; he came out very slowly with the flower pot in his mouth.  I about passed out from laughing so hard, luckily I thought, camera, it was on the counter inside the house.  As you can see I go the camera and the shots.  Yukon wanted to play with me and the flower pot it was so funny, he kept following me around the garden with the flower pot.  The flower pot is one of the heavy terracotta ones not plastic!

It seems that Yukon's personality is really starting to grow, he is as a Malamute should be full of playing tricks on me and being really funny.   I have started taking him for walks in the morning and evening, not long ones just down the street but it seems to wear him out pretty quick - he sleeps a lot.

Yukon is 10 weeks 2 days old and weighs over 20lbs already; at least I know he is getting enough food.

I don't see how I got on without him in my life - he is a great pal and always by my side.
