17 Weeks

Well time flies and things change fast with Hugo.

He's now fully vaccinated and weighing almost 60lbs, yes six zero!

During the weekdays he's stays with his sitter where he gets to play and sleep all day long with his dog pals Rainy and Rio.

He had a blast playing around in the snow whilst it lasted.

10 weeks and his 1st Xmas

So it's been a few weeks now since Hugo became part of this family. Madeline is warming up to him slowly and does like to think that she can play with him. She can say his name quite well, easier to say the H sound it appears.

Weighed in at 30.9lbs

The only victims in all this is our poor living room carpet which has taken quite a beating from his toilet mishaps. Carpet will survive once it's been given a thorough deep clean and the front yard which is getting trampled on during the wet weather.


Hugo also thinks he can walk himself from time to time.

Hugo experienced his first Xmas where he had fun with his gifts and playing with Max

Hugo received his first bath and I have to say he handled it rather well. Now he smells like a puppy and not one soaked in pee.

9 weeks old

Today Hugo is 9 weeks old and weighs 23lbs! Totally starting to feel his weight as we carry him upstairs where his crate is located.

Apart from the need to pee every hour (on the carpet mostly) he's been pretty well behaved.

Hugo and Madeline's relationship is mostly on Madeline's terms right now, but that will change.


Hugo and Lani relationship was very distant. At first Lani kept quite a distance between the two of them as you can see here. She stayed up there for several days, only coming down to eat and drink.


However, Lani has over the past couple days got braver and seems to be more adventurous.


Madeline enjoyed taking Hugo on walks around the neighborhood.


More laziness

Hugo comes home

 Today we went and picked up Hugo from his breeder. Everyone, except Madeline was excited to see him again. Madeline was more interested in his mother Charlotte.

So since our last checkout visit he has gained another 4lbs!

We picked up a few supplies on the way home and Hugo had his first experience of PetSmart. We never stayed long as Madeline wanted to hold Hugo's leash and it was causing more problems than we needed.

Introduced Hugo to his new home and he seemed to settle in quite well. Loved playing and rolling around in the grass.



Even Madeline was having a good time.


We weighed him later that day and he was 17.9lbs

As a puppy he was able to enjoy the small animal bed we had (which Madeline used mostly) with some of his new toys. This will change in the weeks to come.


And of course had time to relax

Preparing for Hugo

Had to buy a massive crate for Hugo where he will sleep at night until he is properly house trained. Managed to find someone selling one on offerup for $80. It barely fit in my SUV otherwise getting it home would have been interesting.

Assembled it and this is what it looked like uncovered.


UPDATE: He appears to be fine sleeping in it overnight. There are times where he has wanted out, but mostly because he's wanted to pee or poop.
