Bear, as he grows
I got Bear for Christmas 2008, he was 12 weeks old at the time..what a character ! I have never seen a little puppy to be so smart !
House breaking was a bit difficult, because he was also stubborn !
He has just turned a year old on September 15th...that's my boy ! He has only proven to get smarter, but he does still have a few bad habits we are still trying to break him off (like barking and carrying on, and begging for food everytime we eat !)
He doesn't have one stuffed animal left, he has torn them all to pull out the squeekers and stuffing..I have emptied them out completely, and now he just runs around with the "pelts" in his teeth..we have bought him more sturdy toys, but...if he can't break it, he doesn't want to play with it !
