Since we found that the milkbones are a little too tough for his puppy teeth, I bought him a chewy treat instead. Cloud Star Chewy treats. They're adorable! They're shaped like little gingerbread men! Bruce got one yesterday because he was a very good boy. He loved it!
Yesterday was a big day for Bruce! He had his first vet appointment! He did great. He played with the "nurse" while she asked us questions, and he fell asleep in the doctors arms! Completely zonked right out! How many people can say that? I like the doctor a lot and the staff seems great. I'm not sure if we lucked out or not, but I'm happy we didn't hate them! She gave us our first month of heartworm meds. and told us in the summer we're going to need a stronger flea protection than Frontline, and as it turns out, their flea stuff is cheaper :p so yay! But since we got Frontline, she says it'll be fine for the winter. Apparently fleas have adapted to it, so it's not as effective. Who knew? I got him a new special toy for being such a good boy at the vet. I picked a good one, because it's quickly become the favorite toy!... and an effective pillow!
Today I decided to switch Bruce from his travel crate to his home crate (after all, once he learns to fear the vet, he's not going to like that travel crate anymore!!) I put his lobster blankie in the crate just to make sure he's not going to mess in there, but if he does good today, we're going to try putting in the awesome argyle pillow, which will be much more comfy for sleeping.
One of these days I'm going to get a pic of him awake.
Bruce is slowly finding his voice too. But I think he's been encouraged from the other dogs in the complex who bark at him through the window and he tries to bark back. It's adorable. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a video of it soon.
