Howdy!! I know, I know, I've been MIA for a bit. Work (I own my own biz) has been a little crazy, and I've had my nose to the grindstone. Coming up for air and hoping to do that more often.
I felt really compelled this morning to give you guys an update on Remi. Not because I'm a bully mom bragging about her kid, because I know that so many of you are so invested in Remi, and our journey, and where all of this is heading. Tagging a few people who I know are dying for an update: [MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION], [MENTION=4706]RaRett[/MENTION] [MENTION=7749]ChrisRN[/MENTION] [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION]
Remi this morning in the sun room bringing his game face. (As soon as I released him he totally tackled me with kisses. He's such a clown) Next week he'll be 10 months. (Holy cow, right?!)
Some updates:
Whew! I think that's it. How are all your pooches doing?!

Some updates:
- Remi is pretty much awesome. We have developed a very strong bond. Knowing what I know now, I would totally do the whole puppy thing all over again. (Even 3 months ago, I really wasn't sure. Now I am)
- Training Remi how to sit, stay, lay down, etc has made our lives 100000x easier. He's becoming way more consistent and it's such a relief that I can tell him to sit and stay and he will, so I can answer the door. Shocking! Hhahahah. Life changing.
- He doesn't really like baths anymore, but he's a champ. He likes to play in the creek at our local park.
- He loves to jump over sh*t.
- He loves to bust out his ninja moves on the sand.
- He eats stinkbugs like a Hoover.
- Way gentler when playing with people.
- Humping is down by 70%.
- He is learning to trust me more and more, which is huge when dealing with him and the cats. He's afraid of one in particular, and when I say come, he will, and it really helps defuse a situation.
- He ate part of his toy and literally passed a 3" piece of rubber :/
- Although he has a few accidents, he's basically potty trained
- We're working at getting him a good kennel for when we go on vacation. We've visited a bunch and there is one that I think is awesome. I just need to figure out a way to leave him there for a couple of days without crying nonstop. So i can go on a well needed vacation!!
- He loves his veggies.
- His tear stains are completely gone with angel eyes, but every time I try to scale it back, they come back.
- He recently started to reverse sneeze. All of this just basically points to environmental allergies.
- Clear bill of health from the vet!
Whew! I think that's it. How are all your pooches doing?!
