Observations of the Week

sumo is getting as tall as chibi (and weight and length wise, he may actually already be there). he's definitely a "girth" bigger dog. she has a more "lean" look, while he's more solid in the middle (with still no fat).

he has started being more rambunctious (ill check the spelling later) the last few days. not sure what it is, we're thinking maybe it's his adolesence kicking in? the boost of extra testosterone. he's been bugging the heck out of chibi lately (and getting yelled at more than usual, from chibi). we usually hear the yelling/screaming, turn around or walk out and see chibi with sumo pinned to the floor. we separate them, then he goes right back to nipping/biting/jumping on her (repeat).

the good news is that he's learned he likes to go for walks now. he'll actually run to the door with chibi and sit when it's walk time. he still needs some work on his walk ettiqute, but, we're working on it.

another random observation is that the collars appear to be turning some of the whiter fur around their necks a strange shade of grey. ill be heading to the store to see if i can find another of the same style out of different materials. mom thinks it'st he metal from the links of the chain, i think it may be the dye from the nylon/material parts. who knows.

oh, we put the recliner into the family room (dog area). i think sumo likes it (FAT DOG!)



















ps. mom has also "re-implemented" the, no dogs on the couch (since we now have a new one), unless invited. chibi is readjusting fine, sumo (who never knew or grew up with the rule), is having some issues :-p
