Boomer

Thought I would do a Boomer 'update'.  He is now about a year and a half.
We love Boomer SOOOO much.  

• He is definitely a 3rd child for me, but honestly - I enjoy him.  He gets me 'out' of the house and up from my computer!  
• He is the best snuggler (especially at night!).  
• He is half monkey - or cat, not sure which!  He tends to be a big jumper - jumping on chairs, then the counters.  If he wants something on the counter, he WILL do anything to get it.
• He barks - not our favorite thing.  His bark is SUPER loud, like louder than I ever thought could happen!  
• I 'train' him everyday - he knows sit, lay down, roll over, wait, leave it, come and shake.  He does pretty good, inside the house, but outside - not so much!  If he ever gets out (which he has), it's a shit show!  He runs like a gazelle!!!  :)
• Loves walks.
• His way of letting us know he needs to potty is chew at our wrists/shirt sleeves.  Yah, pretty awesome.  (NOT)
• He's a scardie-cat!!!  He's very timid around others, and around other dogs.  It's a little frustrating because he has such a 'big' personality at home, but around others, he's very scared.  He also hates loud noises and big trucks!!
• We go to the dog park a couple times a week - he loves it there, runs and runs.  But again, a little scared of some of the other dogs, but seems to bark and bark at the big dogs!  Go figure. 

We had a vet appointment today for his yearly shots.  The vet was a little concerned that he wasn't gaining weight.  Last time he was in, he was a little under 18 lbs., today, he was just at 16 lbs.  I told her that he's very active, and she figured much.  We will start giving him a little more food to see if he will put on some lbs. 

Honestly, we love that pup so much.  He's been a great addition to our family!
