I find it astonishing that these guys are now five months old. While their very young puppy moments seemed to last forever---(remembering the freezing cold drips from the trees not so long ago) at the same time they are disappearing with alarming speed. They are so big now, Bruno 42lbs and Maxi 40lbs, they are bigger than many of the dogs we meet. It does seem that they will be larger than the average Boxer which is fine so long as I keep up the training training training:) Bruno far surpassed my expectations in class yesterday!! At last I am beginning to enjoy the successes--stress levels in public are much better, but not so fast, it is still much like a roller coaster ride the moment I relax my equilibrium is stolen and I feel freaked. So, I add caution to saying I ENJOY classes now--rather I am not so stressed. In many ways this might be due to Maxi having a sore toe meaning I took only Bruno to class which is altogether easier than taking both. That is not to say that Maxi's training has been neglected I keep him up to par with Bruno, just at home. Maxi is by far the easier more compliant puppy any way which is a blessing. Had the toe thing been Bruno's life just now I am certain he would not comply with training at home. He is just slightly on the edge of being stubborn and a little willful:) Just as well he has that incredibly charming and handsome face.LOL They are learning to sit and stay for longer and longer spells and with added distractions---they are getting it.
