smg01The puppy turns one today. So happy birthday Tom. He only singed his whiskers a little bit when he blew out the candle on his cake. (I kid. There were no candles. Or cakes.)
I had a conversation with him while we took our morning walk. I asked him if turning one meant he was a big boy now and he was ready to settle down. He agreed. Then barked and lunged after a passing truck. Yeah, I think that's going to be a work in progress for awhile yet.
Also, he's about 3/4 of the way through blowing his coat. If you've never had a double-coated dog, what that means is that once (or more) a year, the dog completely sheds out his undercoat. It's quite alarming the first time it happens because you pull out fur by the fistful while thinking "this can't be normal." And when they're done, it looks a lot like they've been shaved even though no razor has touched them. He's looking more sleek than fluffy these days.
