It is amazing how this little boy is growing. This picture was taken a couple of weeks back, and he has grown since then, and I will show you more recent pictures – hopefully later today. I only have a few minutes right now so this will be short.
It feels like forever since I have given a good update here — ok it has been forever since I have given any sort of update… same old story – been busy as all get out. But don’t give up on me – a complete update is on it’s way – so stay tuned!
Ok I will put up this weeks photo’s of Bosley….. but after this I will slow down on the puppy pictures. I don’t want you guys to get bored…
One of Bosley’s favorite things to do is pack things about. And if the something happens to be a stick then even better!
He has grown in the couple of weeks since he has joined our family… and each day we love him more. Even Dudley who is being a wonderful big brother. The cats are doing fine with him as well, and he with them. So harmony is settling nicely.
Bosley had his well puppy check this past Thursday, and Dr. Al said that he is a happy, healthy puppy. (we already knew that). He received his second set of shots, and de-wormer. He goes back at the end of May for his next set of shots — and then he is good until he goes in for his alteration.. which will probably happen near the end of the summer. He will start puppy classes in September with Jamie — but already knows how to sit, and mostly walks pretty good on the leash, although he does at times thinks that it would be better chewed than attached to him.
We are getting a pretty good routine down with him — he gets several off leash walks a day on the property — the leash walks are just for practice and to get him used to the leash.
He is not fond of rides in the jeep yet, and tends to sing a lot of the drive, but we know that will pass and he will be fine. Just need a little more practice with that.
I have his travel kennel next to my office chair and during the day he goes in there to nap. The door stays open, and when he needs a rest he just goes in.
At night he is still sleeping with Jamie and I, but soon will have his own bed up there to sleep in. We have found that allowing the babies to sleep with us, helps to ease the transition away from their siblings and mom with far less stress.
He mostly goes outside to do his ‘business’ with only a couple of accidents when he has gotten overly excited. My office opens to the big deck which is open to outside, which is a well fenced yard about double the size of a standard city lot and during the day he is free to come and go as he pleases – from my office to the decks, to the yard. At night we hang out in the rest of the house, with baby gates and doors closed to the areas that are not puppy safe. He has a bed in the living room next to Dudley’s, and will crash on there after he is done his night play and then be carried up to bed.
It is getting easier with him now as he does not need to have a constant eye on him to make sure he is not getting into something or doing something where he could get hurt.
He is pretty attached to me. And will come to me when I call him ‘most’ of the time. He likes to be in whatever room of the house I am in, and loves it when we go out on the other big deck to play soccer. The ball is pretty much bigger than him, but he pushes it along with his front feet, and then waits for me to give it a kick so he can go chase it.
He knows to sit when it is dinner time and not rush the food. When cookie time rolls around he prefers the big ones over the little ones….
All in all he is a wonderful little puppy and we are all very glad he has joined our family….
So there you have it… the puppy update…
I was going to post this last weekend, but got so busy and totally forgot. Here is Bosley’s 9 week old picture — just when we are due for a 10 week old photo tomorrow, LOL
I will get in here soon to update the goings on… but for now….
I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Truddle household.
Bosley!
8 weeks old yesterday and a real charmer.
Have you ever felt alone in the world – with no one to lean on, no one who really understands?
I know of a little 10 year old girl that felt this way, but instead of staying silent, she is speaking out in hope of making a difference in this world, hoping to make a difference in someone else’s life.

For as long as I can remember the month of March was always awaited with much anticipation – what would the first of the month bring?
“In like a lion – out like a lamb
In like a lamb – out like a lion”
I have always enjoyed the first option of the two, as it ment that once the weather turned and started getting nice, summer was well on it’s way. With the second option, it seems like you are just getting used to the nicer days, and then wham… the weather would get miserable.
I woke up this morning to the sound of pouring rain — so for us this year it will be a “In like a lion - out like a lamb”. So what about you?
Hey everyone, how are you doing? I cannot believe it was Valentines day when I last wrote in this blog. OIY, time sure does have a way of getting away from me. Although those of you who have me on facebook know that I am still alive and kicking about, doing normal Truddle stuff.
Yesterday I spent the day making strawberry jam. 39 half pint jars worth of strawberry jam. Today it will be blackberry jelly and raspberry jam. I know, crazy time of the year to be doing jam, but actually if you think about it, it really is not so crazy. Making it this time of the year I am not fighting the heat! It was actually very pleasant. Although this is not the weekend I had planned on doing the jam – it had to be done. We had our beef order come in, so we had to clear room out of the freezer.

So now that I have peeked in here, it is time for me to head back into the kitchen and get things going. I will try to check in again a bit sooner next time!
