Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear

Cole at 8 weeks old

Sleeping by his dish, he does that a lot
He's so big already! His head is almost as big as mine!

Sleeping pup again

So we picked Cole up on Sunday, December 21. Cole got a little carsick on the way to my mom's house, poor lil guy. He felt a little better by the time we stopped the car and was ready to play.

He's definitely becoming more familiar with his surroundings and with Shawn and I. He'll play for a half hour or so, then nap, then maybe eat and drink before he starts the cycle all over again. We're both working hard on house training him. We think he's getting the idea, at least he only peed on paper in the house twice today as compared to several times yesterday.

He went to the vet today to get his first series of shots. Shawn said he did very well and didn't even yelp when he got the shots.

All in all, so far so good. He's so funny to watch. His paws are way too big for his body so he's always losing his balance and flopping all over the place. It's also cute to see him watch Shawn around the kitchen because he'll cock his head curiously at every move.

I'm taking tons of pictures, so for most of my future posts will just be updated pictures of Cole. It'll be interesting to watch him grow. Shawn researched his growth rate and according to a site online Cole will grow about 10 pounds per month! He's already at 16.8!

Enjoy the pics! More to come.
