Bigun has been with us now for six weeks as of tomorrow afternoon. His latest weigh in has him at 15 lbs, and he's learned most of the commands for a well-mannered pup: sit, wait, bring, drop it, etc. He loves his walks: usually two miles, twice a day, when the location we are in allows it. He isn't bothered by the frequent travel, nor the change in locations. Traffic noises do not faze him, and he walks over any surface. I am considering agility training, later.
