12 weeks old and 2.115 lbs



Kai is 12 weeks old today, which means that he gets another round of vaccinations.  Unfortunately, both dogs seem to have caught the same upper respiratory infection and are now on antibiotics, so no vaccinations for the baby until he gets better.  Their sneezing and snoring are endearing and pathetic at the same time, but I can't help but feel sorry for the little dudes.

Some highlights (or low lights, depending on how you look at it) from this week:
  • Kai is now sleeping in his crate overnight and is learning to hold it until the morning.  I think I'll bring his crate upstairs this weekend and see how that goes.
  • Potty training is progressing, although it seems that we've taken a step back this week.  Kai is playing with his weewee pad, rather than going on it so there are times when I have to watch where I step in the kitchen.
  • Kai's confidence has increased tremendously since we brought him home.  For about a week and a half, I was able to take him outside without a lead so that he could go potty.  He'd stay really close by me and not wander off.  It's a different story now.  Kai easily and quite confidently walks away from me, but does come back when called.
