5 Months

Believe it or not, Ryder is 5 months old and about 45lbs! We have been nothing fun, just going to school and regular shopping trips. Ryder is a pretty amazing dog, he never pulls, eats stuff off the ground and he always wants to please. He goes to high school daily and does awesome.

Today my family and I went up to Reno to go shopping for the day. We went to a lot of stores and Scheel`s (bigger then Cabela`s) which is a crowded store with lots of stuffed animal displays, holiday decorations, and a noisy environment. Ryder handled it like a champ. Ryder is such good dog I can`t explain it!

Since I have been lacking in the picture and posting department I took some photos of Ryder at Scheel`s.

P.S. Focus is still hanging in 10 looking for his forever match hopefully.

Training Report

I know I have been a slacker on posting lately. So today it was a must! I was driving around town checking my e-mail on my phone every second to see if the phase report had come yet. Finally around 2:30 it came, and this is what it said.

Focus 4S45 M 10
You are probably wondering why I posted a pic of a puppy vest (Rye`s actually) and a leash. Well I thought about it and what made Focus who is today was done with theses two simple items. Every day, by my side, I would put Focus` jacket on, hook up his leash and we would go many new places and more complex as he got older. He was a handful in the beginning but calmed down a lot by the time he went back. I miss him dearly and I know that he could sit in 10 for a few months before finding his perfect match, but I hope he finds it before the holidays!

As for Ryder, he is getting bigger by the day (about 40lbs now) and is such a good boy. He attends high school with me daily and is simply amazing. He is only four and half months old, but he acts like a mature 1 year old. He has had no fear reactions to anything that I have noticed/seen. He is the perfect puppy, just need love to make him happy. He is calm in general, does not need walks, happy to be lazy all day, and just loves being with you. I could not have asked for a better puppy! I will try to post pictures of him this weekend if I get around to it, but I certainly had to post the news of the day!
