Maximillian Sydney Bruiser McEllis has been a very busy little puppy this week!
Dad No. 1 has been at home with poorly joints and so not only has Max been busy but he has also been well and truly spoilt with love, cuddles, attention and lots of play! One of Max's current favourite toys is his Tug. He loves having it thrown for him and then spends a fair amount of time grunting and growling whilst trying to wrestle it from our hands...he's a vocal little dog when he's playing.
No Daddy, I will not let go....ever!
He has a varied collection of toys....quite a few actually for a little puppy who has only been here 2 weeks!!!!! Dad No. 1 bought him a Fling-A-Ring today.....I kid you not!
Max and his Tug
The first 'big' adventure of the week was Max's first puppy jab.....
Lordship Lane Veterinary Surgery
He's registered with Lordship Lane Vets in East Dulwich (http://www.lordshiplanevets.co.uk/). He was no bother and didn't even whimper when the vet gave him his injection. Max went back to the vet this morning to be weighed and he is officially a mighty 2kg....we could have found a heavier hamster!!!!!!! He also got some more worming tablets to keep him tip top and in good health. Max's next and last puppy jab is on 20th March and then a week after that we can officially take him out on his lead....very exciting!
Max on his way to the vet
Today we took Max to his favourite shop - Pets At Home in Blackheath where he normally gets thoroughly spoiled and bought lots of treats! We bought him a dog flap for the back door which he is currently receiving training on how to use......it's going ok and he has no issue going through it but we have to hold the door open for him, the 'nudge' is going to take a little longer methinks.
He's a good little traveller and doesn't make a sound. I was only saying to John in the car on the way to Pets At Home that he was a good traveller when he promptly hacked up some sick!! Either I'm on a psychic level with the dog or he knew what I was saying and decided to make me look like a right tit....either way it was funny!
Play with me, play with me, play with me!
Today Max has spent most of the day in the garden and he and the Girls are getting along just fine, for those of you who wondered how he was doing with them. He's very eager to play with them, they on the other hand are not and just ignore him, apart from Stella who gives him a mouthful whenever she sees him.
Tomorrow we are going to give him more dog flap and obedience training.....
And HOW cute does he look in his very grown up collar!!!!!!!!
