Weekend puppy update

Gibbs is 5 months old and we have never been more in love with a dog. He is so sweet and devoted both to my husband and I.  I walk with him everyday, so each time I get a coat on or my shoes on he is at the door ready to go. Funny how the rules are different with my husband, who walks around the property everyday with him off-leash and Gibbs never strays from him, and listens to him intently.  I always walk him on a leash (around the neighborhood, on pavement 2-3 miles) and when he if off- leash from me, he doesn't listen to me!!! what is that all about?? control. He is jerking MY chain, for sure.  Here he is this week. Did I tell you he always carries a stuffed animal around? Loves his 'babies'.

He is getting real curly!

 Everything is blossoming! This is Gibb's playground.

Gibbs has had an upset tummy for the 3rd day in a row and hasn't eaten much. You know he's sick if he doesn't want to eat- this dog is WILD about food.  He must have eaten something toxic is my guess.  Could be anything from a cut onion off the kitchen floor or a philodendron leaf-all toxic to dogs.  Who knows, this boy is a vacuum cleaner.  But he is turning a corner today and feeling perkier and eating a little.  Phew!

All the animals are finally getting along. It only took 3 months! The cats tolerate him now, Nicky is laying next to him ( but still won't PLAY with Gibbs), and the two cats are now co-habitating (which took over a year.) The horses are all getting onto spring grass without any problems. All is good in the Powell animal kingdom, at the moment.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
