Before you say "The whole time!" - hear me out lol. Puppy-hood, training, youthful infections, periodic health issues, and all that stuff that comes with being a puppy .... is fading away ... And I am noticing more and more, as he reaches the 1 year mark, that he is becoming much more established, well behaved, healthy, and happy.
Of course I adored him from the first day he came home. But lately I can tell he's becoming quite the little gentleman. His personality is developing. Our communication is getting better and better. He truly seems to have learned words, and understands things I say now (basic). This is resulting in a much more rewarding experience for me, and I am quickly bonding with him more than ever. Prior to this - you know how it is - they are a puppy. They have little awareness of their surroundings, they're just romping around, pooping, peeing, biting, coughing, sneezing, crying, etc...
All that seems to be fading away. This has resulted in kind of a "sweet spot" that I think will continue to get sweeter.
What age did your bully really settle into things and you started to get that sense of mature peaceful companionship with the little one? I suppose the potty training was done, childhood naughty behaviors had passed,and you got into a "groove" where you were just enjoying eachothers company, and the rewards of having a *companion* really started to show?
