Little Beau…

Our precious little Beau will be five months old on March 14th.  I’ve waited so long for this puppy and dearly love him.  So does Doug!  One of Doug’s arguments for waiting until Spring to get a puppy was that it would be difficult to housebreak him in the midst of Winter, and that has proved to be true.  When we take him outside, he is happy to promptly do his business.  However, he is just as likely to have an accident indoors!  I think when the weather is consistently warmer and there is grass underfoot instead of snow, it might be a little easier to housebreak.  I hope so!

He has mastered “sit” and “down” and is so enthusiastic, he will go ahead and assume the down position right after sit to save you time on your commands!  He really is adorable!  He started out with two light blue eyes, but now has one green eye and one blue eye!  I’m hoping the blue eye will turn green as well, but we will love him regardless!  His coat is filling out and he is really looking like a beautiful Cocker Spaniel, but I think he will continue to develop that look even as he grows older.

While we are in love with this sweet pup, I cannot say the same thing for his feline brother, Tiger!  Hopefully, over time, their semi-tolerance of one another will grow into a friendship.
