Everyday he has been getting an average of 2 good walks and when time and weather permits a good dose of exercise as well running or X-C skiing on the cinder paths in the park behind our home with my wife Jenny or next to me on my Mtn Bike of which he really loves. He loves to carry a stick in his mouth along the way for good measure when he's feeling really proud! We continue to work on taking a ride in the car as he has some issues with motion sickness and we're hoping he will grow out of this as he gets older. He has also taken to playing with the "Chuck-It" and tennis ball, retrieving like a labrador should! Socially he has been wonderful with both canine and human friends. Loki passed the YMCA dog obedience class with flying colors this summer and we continue to work on commands and obedience as he continues to grow. He follows most commands very well and is eager to please. Of course at times his active little brain will go on the fritz while sniffing around and he reminds us that yes, he is still a puppy! House training him has been a no-brainer with an occasional minor accident that is to be expected. We've found that the natural rubber Ruffwear and Zogoflex Westpaw toys seem to hold up with his chewing very well as he has demolished any fabric type toys we've given him in a matter of minutes. :-)
We greatly thank Rudy's Rescue for letting us have Loki in our lives...
Looking forward to attending a Rudy's rescue function this next summer if possible. Thanks!
