Sweet Dreams

It seems now that Cowboy “talks” in his sleep.  Last night at some ungodly hour he started whining and yipping softly, and then barked loud twice.  Thinking that he needed to go out I dragged myself out of bed and started to get dressed to go outside. As I was tying up my snow boots in the dark I realized that it was suddenly very quiet   apparently he’d been dreaming, and had gone back to sleep. As I climbed back into bed I could hear him, snoring!  What do eleven week old puppies dream of?  

He is getting better about the biting, but has constant relapses. At least he isn’t biting as hard anymore. 

At ten weeks he knows “sit” on both hand signal and command, although the voice command isn’t as reliable yet, but he’s getting it.  “Down” on hand signal, and is learning “Off”, although that’s a tough one when you’re so little. He jumps up at me when he wants to be picked up and cuddled, much like a toddler would. And because he is so very active, quiet time cuddling is rare, and I usually pick him up and let him curl up on my lap.  I imagine that will be interesting when he weighs 50 pounds.

His favorite toy is a plush cow, which was as big as he was just a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty entertaining to watch him wrestle that thing around, but he was determined and got it wherever he wanted it to be.
