News and Views From my kids accomplishments, to my heretical perspective of the world

Here are some pictures I took of Apollo today. He was 8 pounds when we got him (6 weeks old), and is about 22 pounds now at 11 1/2 weeks. He looks and feels more than 3 times as heavy!

He sure is a friendly, good natured guy. He craves attention, loves to be played with and petted. Still likes to nip at fingers, but he’s getting better. Still a long way from house broken.

Derek’s job runs from about noon to 9:00pm, so Gisele and I end up playing with him and walking him on many days.

Derek’s job is going well, he says. He’s on the last week of training, but is actually making lots of calls each day already, under supervision. If you’re late on payments on your Target card, you might be getting a call from him!

Here’s Derek’s puppy Apollo at 9 1/2 weeks old. He seems bigger almost every day.

Here he is in his usual mode — biting! He doesn’t try to hurt and usually it’s just a gentle nip, but his baby teeth are sharp and once in a while he breaks skin.

I can still outrun him, but that won’t last long. He will soon be able to jump out of his 2′-high pen in the kitchen too.

I wanted to get a picture of the roundworms for Richard, but he appears to be rid of them.
