Hi Don,
We just wanted to send you a little update on Pit, and at long last a few pics!!
Pit is doing great! We are very happy with him. He was to the vet at 11 weeks and got his next round of shots and his de-flea, worming. We switched him to revolution (or tried it this month anyway) since ticks are bad near where we are. I guess it gives a bit more protection. We decided to take Pit to Dr Gehrig for our vet, as we have heard good things about her, and also her parents are family friends.
Pit's training is going well. He will come, sit and now stay really well for his food and also to go outside. He is also getting better on the leash now going for walks. Sometimes he is excellent, but when he's full of energy sometimes he takes a while to settle down. We have a short leash with a bit of a choke. Is Pit old enough now to switch to a slip chain collar like Puck has? I think that would help.
Thanks for the tips on fetching. Pit is doing really well with that, and it's lots of fun. His favourite thing to fetch strangely though is a volleyball rather than a little tennis ball. He will still fetch the smaller ball, but he loses interest much more quickly.
Pit must be 20 lbs now or so, as he was about 17 lbs last week at the vet. His coat is getting a bit wavy on the back now like Puck's, which I love!
That's all the news for now. The pictures attached were taken a few weeks ago by my brother in law who has an interest in photography. We have found it hard to get good photos sometimes because of Pit's black face to get the exposure right.
Hope your summer is going well.
