Week of 8/25

Okay, so here are some recent pictures of our boy. He got his ears wrapped really throughly for the first time this last week and can you imagine he hasn't been able to rip them off yet. So he is now in a set of goal posts and we are excited cause they are starting to look like they should and are much more sturdy.



Today Prime learned an important lesson in our house today. If you are a good boy while you get a quick bath (cause you smell like sweaty dog), then afterward you get to play with the towel used to dry you off! Needless to say he loved that game.







Mom! The cat is shooting me with lazer beams from his eyes!!!



However, i think these pictures really capture him better than any of the ones i've taken previously.











And Finally, This is Prime playing with his MEGA Wubba that his daddy bought him. I thought it was going to be "too" big. He just loves it. I swear that bottom ball is nearly the size of a soccer ball.

Hey Guys - So here are the updates. Prime weighs 47.6 lbs yesterday. We had his ears taken down from the cup and wrapped in tape. This first picture is awful because his ear is flopped down agaist the top of the head. So his ear doesn't actually look like a pit bull it is just a bad angle for the picture.




Obviously for this one it is flopped in the other direction. I guess Kevin's wish of them standing straight up right after we took them out of the cup is out the window. haha.



These next three, I'm trying to get a picture of him stacked to see what we think of him show-wise. We haven't worked very much on this skill so again, these were some of the best of the set.

First set of ear stitches came out last night. They were on the top of his ear. The bottom set of stitches comes out at 10:30a on Friday. We have an appointment to go and get stitches removed and let the vet do the first ear wrapping. I am going to be bringing my camera to get pictures of his ears completely unwrapped. We are then hoping that we can bring him out to be evaluated this weekend by the search and rescue team. Prime has made his daddy very happy in the last few days by really starting to "fetch" in earnest. Fetch is daddy's favorite game. He is still a little bit whiny however i think alot of that this week has had to do with having his ears taped to the top of his head. That is all in the way of updates at the moment. We are going to work on getting a weight in the next few days, i figured we would wait until we go see the vet on Friday to get a weight because he's getting a little cumbersome for me to hold and Kevin has been a little under the weather and i feel bad about asking him to weigh him, Plus we are going to the vet on friday and he has to learn how to get weighed sooner or later.

Ear Update

Prime had his ears cropped on Tuesday. These are his ears on Saturday, still taped to the cup. It is hard to take good pictures of a wiggly puppy's ears but these were the best ones of the bunch.

Weight Update

Puppy booster shots 42.5 lbs.

Picture update

Our friend Christina, singing with Prime.




One of prime's favorite games is to balance on the ottoman in our living room. I think he likes it 'cause it wiggles.



Kevin's best friend rob, in the dogs cage with the dog. He's a special kind of guy.



I told you he was a loudmouth



This is what happens when you fall asleep in my house



See I told you so. I swear, when i fell asleep he wasn't even on the couch.



Our little shriner child.
