We've had Riley for about 9 months now ... feels like a lot longer! He turned one year in February (or so we think) and he is just as much puppy as the day we got him! He usually minds his manners, but gets excited in groups of people and embarrasses us with his "ungentlemanly behaviors." He still loves to chase Steve, but a squirt bottle has really helped to squelch that habit ... have I mentioned how much Riley HATES water???
He is enjoying his new yard, though we discovered just how much of a digger he really is. He is also discovering a new habit of sitting by the door to be let out & then sitting by the door to be let in and then repeating this pattern several more times. A real joy. But his favorite thing is lying in the sun; indoors or out.
And yes, he still fetches things around the house & occasionally chews up an object or two. The most recent victims were two large buttons of unknown origin and a felt mouse that used to be enjoyed by Steve. Now, just a carcass. Poor mouse & poor Steve.
He is a bundle of playfulness & cuddles and though he may drive us nuts sometimes, we love him to death. Pets just have that effect on us, don't they?
Go give your pet a big hug!
