Nokes was pretty good with guests down this weekend, only did thing that were typical of a puppy. This weekend we got a package from Brenda and Amanda with some great little gifts, some chicken flavored dog treats and two Tiger theamed items, a Tigers Collar for when he gets bigger, and a Tigers dish. We were going to have to get him a dish soon anyway, so that really saved us.

Sarah let him play with his first rawhide in a monitored setting this weekend. I am still really nervous …

Sanding Pac-man cabinet, wiring Mr. Do!

Today was the day, and a long one.

But usually, he will do one little bark, and then right after he does this sort of chewbacca call growl thing. It is really funny.
