Ole, I can barely pick him up

This boy is GROWING! He feels like he weighs 40 lbs and I can hardly lift him, phew!
I took Ole to day care this morning and as he and I got out of the car, we heard Aah, OH-REE! Good morning Oh-ree! I looked back and it was Mr. Suzuki walking up behind us to the Canine to Five Center. Ole was very pleased to see him and just oozed a wag all over his body. I got him to sit and Suzuki just beamed.."He good boy, Oh-ree!" It was charming. I left Ole at the Center and took Shelly and Elmo over to Fiesta Island ,but this time did not let them go bounding into the brush until we got well past the area with all the foxtails. It worked a whole lot better than the Tuesday fiasco. This time I only found a couple of foxtails on both of them.

I dropped them at home and did some work for a hour and then went to an appointment. By the time I finished it was time to pick up Ole so I swung by and did just that. Romi said he was very good as always, so calm and friendly and that she taught him to walk over very low jumps just to get him used to lifting his hind legs up and be more aware of his rear end. Suzuki showed me several photos he had taken of Ole playing with various puppies and one of him with their older golden retriever. They may put some of the photos on their website. We drove home and Ole was STARVED. I fed him and he was ready for a nap so into his crate he went. Abner and I needed to do a little refrigerator shopping as our old one is rusting out. Everything metal at the beach rusts from the inside out, TV's refers, stoves, you name it. Salt air is tough on machinery. We left the dogs and checked out several likely prospects but didn't buy one as we want to do a little more research.
When we got home all my watch dogs were sound asleep. Even Elmo who usually never misses a thing was passed out when I walked in the side door. Ole was a good boy and stayed back from the door of the crate and sat before I opened the door and went right outside and did his potty. Good boy Ole.

Later in the afternoon after I got dinner started in the oven and put the dogs meals together to rehydrate in water ( the food that all 3 eat is freeze dried or dehydrated raw food), we took a family walk to the grocery store. It was a good training walk for Ole as there were a lot of skate boarders and bicyclists out. He was a little more reactive but I think it was because he was hungry and I've noticed that he gets more reactive when he needs food. Once we got home , he practically inhaled his dinner, however Elmo beat him out and finished first. I gave each of them a raw bone after dinner and with in a fairly short period of time each one had the others bone and no one was upset. I think that all three bones felt the teeth of all three dogs before they were done.
