Note: anyone concerned about OES and children should talk to Molly, their pup is just a few weeks older than their first son Jack, and I hear the two are the best of friends growing up together.

 

Good Morning!!

I can't tell you how much we are enjoying our new puppy!! We should have done it sooner - except we didn't have a house!! He's potty trained as long as he's downstairs and can see the back door. If he's upstairs, I think he forgets that there is an outside!! But it has been very easy getting him this far! He just learned how to go up and down the stairs yesterday - I think I liked it better when he didn't know how - he's harder to keep track of now!!

I have a few questions....When ever he's in the back yard, he eats dirt, trees, bark, rocks, and tries to chew on the cement patio - Is this normal? Is it just puppyhood? Will he grow out of it? It seems like it would hurt to chew on concrete. As far as I know, he hasn't actually swallowed any, rocks or concrete, but he does swallow dirt, bark, branches...

Also, how long do you think it will be before he is full grown and how big do you think he'll be. I think you're web-site said that his dad is 150lbs. Will he get that big do you think??

Hope all is well with you ....

Talk to you soon,
Molly
