14 Weeks!

Rex certainly has grown! He's been going through the wacky border collie ear stages. It will be interesting to see how they end up.

14 Weeks / 20.8 lbs.
Nikkou is still his best wrestling buddy. I love watching them play tug with a toy. I didn't think "Duck" was going to make it through in one piece this afternoon, but he's still holding strong for now.

Sizzle isn't much for wrestling or being pounced and chewed on by the young upstart, but she does sometimes love to start a tearing game of chase with Rex when we're outside. She's still faster than him - for now.

Sizzle is glad she's not the chew toy this time

Rex is doing nicely with his commands. He sometimes has trouble paying attention to Sit or Down at a Wait spot (like doors), defaulting into Down. I'm working on generalizing all three to different areas and situations. He really wants to get it right.

A little stressed doing a Down-Wait in a new situation.
More relaxed.
