Crazy summer!

It has been way too long since my last update. Neumann is now almost 10 months old! His agility training is progressing nicely, contacts coming along, some jump training started and weave poles too. His big summer adventure was spending 5 days with his Auntie Suzie and Uncle Gary while I went to MN to attend my brothers wedding reception. He loves spending time with his bff Lillee but even more so this time as he got to go to Camp Dream Lake in northern WI. I think his pictures tell the story of what he did on his trip.

Next week, he is off on another adventure. First, he will ride the SS Badger with his sister Starr across Lake Michigan to Luddington, MI. From there we will drive to Grand Rapids, MI to make a pick up and then head east to St. Johnsville, NY for 5 days on Hawks Hunt Farm. I wonder what he will think of all the farm animals....pictures to follow...

Now 7 months

Neumann celebrated his 7 month birthday on Monday with his first run in the agility fenced in area. He loved running free and I was pleased with his check ins and response to being called. We even got in a bit of agility training. Still working on his end position, he knows it, but I just don't love it enough to name it just yet. Sit stay is getting better little by little. He loves the tunnels. Last night, he surprised me by jumping on the full height teeter and banging it to the ground! Guess he is not afraid of that anymore!

Almost 7 months

On Monday, Neumann celebrates his 7 month birthday. He is now 15 inches tall and weighs about 17 lbs. He is currently stuffing toys into my couch and then digging to remove them. What fun!

Can't tell you what a difference I have seen in Neumann since I had his tooth fixed. I did like the fact that he didn't chew on anything and that he took treats gently. Not so much anymore! I can tell that he is no longer feeling any pain associated with his tooth. He even chewed his harness the other night! Thank goodnees for the Lupine chew guarantee.

On Saturday the agility equipment is moved outside for the summer. A new challenge for Neumann with many more distractions. I am so looking forward to letting him run in the fence and have a good time. He is looking forward to his next play date with his girlfriend Lillee!

Time for Neumann to go to bed, still digging in the couch.
