Puppy News

We had our little Duke for a week and he started coughing and gagging a lot. Ethan and I took him to the vet and it turns out that he had pneumonia. Not really what first time dog owners needed. They gave him a shot and then we fed him a pill everyday for ten days.

We tried putting his pill in a piece of cheese, then a piece of chicken and then a hot dog. None of those methods were very successful. He is a smart little puppy. He would eat all the food and spit out the pill. Rachel reminded us that our old neighbors in Texas used to give there dog a pill wrapped in some bread with peanut butter. SUCCESS!!!

We were all a little nervous for little Duke. We knew he was pretty mellow for a puppy and now we no why.

But no worries, he is now ALL PUPPY!!! He has only chewed up 4 pairs of goggles, a couple of swim noodles, one shoe, one soccer ball, one kick board, etc... He is actually still a really good puppy. And we ALL love him. Well, okay....Steve is still trying his hardest.


At the Vet.

How can you not love this! He is a cuddler!Growing Up!
