Breezy Saturday

Saturday walk.

The wind just about blew everyone away.

Oz 11 weeks old

Oz is 11 weeks old today.   

Oz, what do you want?

I think he wants me to read to him!

Lucy and Oz



Lucy and Oz



Soon he will be bigger than her. 
He had his second baby shot.
Mike said we almost didn't get Oz back because they loved him in the lab.
Oz had a good report, they said he didn't even notice the shot.

 

Lucy puts up with his shenanigans!

She understands.

Lucy hears Oz playing.

We love them so much!

Proud as Banana Joe!

Oz is doing such a great job doing his duty outside.  He reminds me of Banana Joe...the little affenpinscher who was named best in show at the Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show!  When Oz goes potty on command he is so proud of himself..just like Banana Joe.  Oz is also trying to lift his leg a wee bit off the ground.  He makes us laugh! We love Mr. # 14!

peeper potty Oz!



And then he runs back to you feeling so proud of himself!
Oz is 9 weeks old!



Famous Ottoman

Lucy loves going under her ottoman...Oz does too! 

But Oz also loves going under the red chair because there's more head clearance. 

Usually we get up at 2:30AM to go out potty but on 4-18-14 everyone in this house slept all night. 

No kidding!

Your hut isn't a secret anymore, Lucy!

Sadie's Sniff Trick

Sadie was a boarder collie who belonged to my dear friend Nancy. Sadie was smarter than smart!  Sadie went across the rainbow bridge, but I will never forget her sniff trick. Sadie really impressed me so I play this game with Oz at night, we give it a go 3 times.  Here's how to play:


Oz sniff's the treat first.



Next, we put Oz in a room and close the door so we can hide the treat.
We put the treat in Oliver's bed...but Oz has to sniff out where we put it.
Lucy is with Mike...he's holding her. 

When we're ready, I opened the door. 
"Where's your treat Oz?"



Oz sniffs to figure out where the scent is.




He found it...Great Job, Oz!



Oz wants to keep playing...Lucy likes the action as long as she is out of the way.

Life at the Kropp Cottage

One day last week, Annie stopped over to meet Oz.  Annie is a poodle who is a neighbor. 
When Oz looked at her,  he ran over next to Lucy for protection. 
Oz knows Lucy is an older female and Lucy knows Oz is a baby. 
Best Friends Forever

Sneaking up on Lucy.

Who's responsible for this mess?

You got-it!
