....who are both growing like crazy. First an update: Magnum is doing fantastically. He and Ruger are best buddies and his training is going so well and much easier than I thought it would with him being deaf.
He is one seriously active, stubborn, nosey little guy and is growing so fast that I am amazed. I started by teaching him to "check in" often and he is doing very well. He has learned that every couple minutes or two he will look bak to me to see if I need him or am giving him a signal. Of course, this while in the fenced yard as I obviously don't let him off lead otherwise.
Ruger has begun to do some real filling out. His head is so much bigger and his muscle is unbelievable! He is my baby but admittedly he is becoming a big boy and as far as I am concerned is very impressive.
He has been a great help with Magnum. I taught him to "Go get the gator" and he will do it 100% of the time. He goes to him, nudges him with his head or foot, barks and starts back to me and Magnum comes with him. He is also a very good babysitter because he takes things away from Magnum (Things he shouldn't have) and brings them to me. If he is chewing on stuff, Ruger will come and "tell" to check on him.
All in all it has been a great experience and I am so very happy to have added this little demon to my pack.
