Levi
Hi Linda -
It's been a few weeks and I thought you, along with the others at the shelter might like an update on little Levi. He's getting HUGE! He had his vet appointment last friday and got his second round of shots. He barely cried. When they clipped his nails, that was another story. You would've thought someone sat on him he cried so much. He weighed in at a whopping 24.4lbs! He's gaining almost 1/2 lb a day. The vet said he looked good and didn't see any problems. He mentioned that he thinks Levi might have some shepard in him, which I've been telling my husband since we picked him up. He keeps insisting that he's a pure lab. But now that the vet has the same opinion as me, he agrees.
We've been very busy socializing Levi. He had his first puppy kindgergarden class last tuesday and he did very well. He was used as an example for how well he would come when we called his name. Sitting is a breeze but we have to work on laying down. We've found a dog park near by and we take him there several times a week to tire him out. He played for 2 hours last night. We're on the small dog side (up to 30 lbs) but in a few weeks we'll have to take him to the big dog side. He just started sleeping through the night, 10pm-6am. We're ecstatic about that. It was a rough few weeks with him getting up twice a night. We've been taking him swimming at my family's cabin. We can't keep him out of the water. If you turn your back for a second he's down there getting muddy. My parents dogs showed him how to drink out of the toilet, we're not too happy about that. But it was pretty cute the first time he tried it. He's still too short that he had to get his front paws in the toilet to reach. I bought him a plastic baby pool for our back patio since it's been so hot here. He gets his entire body wet. He likes to stick his nose in the water and blow bubbles. I think he likes being dried off even more.
I hope everything is well at the shelter and that you're finding homes for all the dogs.
I've attached some pictures of Levi for everyone.
Thanks again,
Lauren
