We have a baby Alligator!

Well, at least that's what I have nicknamed JD. He is constantly biting. You walk by him & he grabs onto your pants. We tell him "no bite" pull him off & he snaps at you, like an alligator. He also snaps at you when he wants to get your attention or play.  He has torn socks (that were on the feet of my niece), boxers (he grabbed from the laundry room floor & when K1 tried to take them from him they ripped), and K3's sheets!

He is also becoming adventurous when we go outside. He does NOT come when called. Miley only comes occasionally, so the two of them take off with me running (or skating in this weather) behind them. So frustrating! Carter rocks he ALWAYS comes when called. Even if he is running full speed after something, he will turn around & come back to me every time.

JD's biggest vice is mice/moles. The big dogs love to catch moles that live under the snow. They have great fun catching them, and then playing with them until they die. After they've had their fun they leave them on the lawn. This is where JD comes in...he finds the discarded moles & EATS THEM, in like, two bites. It's crazy,he grabs them and I start yelling at him. Than he gobbles them up whole, and eats them in two bites. I don't know how he doesn't choke or get sick.The first time he did this I looked away and started gagging. It is so gross.

On the plus side, he is doing really well with house training. He has started to whine at the door, which is great! Not all the time, sometimes I see him sniffing / circling and get him outside, other times I do find puddles. Several days can go by with no puddles or piles in my house. He is totally crate trained. He goes right in his crate and settles down. He never has any potty accidents in there.

JD also knows how to sit and we are working on stay. He loves his toys! He loves to play with Miley. He also  loves to snuggle. He is outgrowing my lap, much to his dismay. He's also getting too big for the shoe box, which is his favorite spot in the kitchen. It's tough to grow up.

All in all he's a lot of fun and a happy go lucky pup! But, he is definitely lots of work & time. It's a good thing he is so cute :)

He's discovered the chickens.

It's a hard life, being a dog!
