Scrumpy is growing!

He looks like a much bigger dog this week

Must be all the good food he's getting

Here he is playing with his new Penguin

And here he is searching under the wardrobe for something!

Ah yes, this is the penguin that we bought him from a charity shop - brand new, a bargain at £2.99

We removed his lovely hat and scarf before we gave it to Scrumpy to play with.

Here he is fast asleep on me last night

He was snoring away gently

We have been going on little mini road walks to get him used to a bit of traffic.  

As we live in a rural village we are lucky to have both a main road, which is fairly busy if you walk one way from the house, and if you walk the other way you get peacefully quite country lanes, so we are taking him on both.

We are only going out for 10 minutes at a time at the moment - 5 minutes for every month is the rule of thumb, so as he's about 2 months old, 10 minutes is perfect.

He is also doing his "doggy do's" outside on the whole now, which is great.  He's such an intelligent little thing & does pick things up really quickly.
