New Video

I've uploaded new video of Ludwig on youtube.com if you want to check it out. It's kind of late and I don't feel up to writing a blog tonight, but I'll do it soon.

Update:

New & Old Pictures

The house training seems to be going well. He waits in front of the door when he wants to go outside and hasn't had any accidents inside for a while now. I can't wait to take him to puppy kindergarten next weekend. Hopefully they will get me film him, if not I'll film him after the class is over.

I've upload some new pictures from Friday of Ludwig outside (he is 11 weeks now and will be turning 12 weeks tomorrow). I kind of want to take his picture in the same spot so I can see how he grow, but it's kind of hard to get him to be still now a days.

I'm so happy that both of his ears are up now, I was being to think that this day would never come. WOW!!!















Here are some pictures when he was 10 weeks.

More News

Well, I finally took him to the Vet today. Although, I still can't believe I forgot to take my camera. I guess I'll have to remember next month when he gets his next set of shots.

However, I did upload some more old footage I had of Ludwig when he was 7-8 weeks old.

Growing

Well, not much has happened. Except that he keeps growing. I've been keeping track of his weight since we got him and he has doubled. Ludwig came home on Dec 21, 2008 and he weighed 10 lbs. Yesterday my brother weighed him and he is now 22 lbs. He is no longer a little puffy popcorn, but a mini german shepherd.

I have a few home movies of him attacking the plant outside & of him acting crazy and hopefully I'll have some time his weekend to upload them.

Oh, I almost forgot I do have a tiny clip of him at the Vet's waiting room, but I'll wait to upload it since he has to go back this weekend. I'll edit them together and upload them at the same time.

Dog vs Water Hose

I would like to know what Ludwig is thinking sometimes, because he doesn't some weird and wacky stuff. Like when I clean his water bowl, located outside. I generally use the hose to clean and fill up his bowl and every time I do this he comes over and tries to get at the water. So I've documented this even and uploaded it to youtube for you to watch.

New Videos

I had some free time today to edit and upload 3 home movies of Ludwig on YouTube.

I found a video of him and me playing outside 5 days after we picked him up. And he looks so small. I can't believe he is getting bigger every day. Some times I wish that he can stay a puppy forever. Movie titled: Outside

While waiting for my puppy Ludwig to come home I was doing some research and came across this great toy called the "Buster Cube". I found a German Shepherd playing with it on YouTube and I thought it would be a great toy to have. Ludwig loves it, well only when it gives him treats. Movie titled: Buster Cube - 9wks

The last movie I uploaded was a new trick he learned today, it is the "leave it" command. He picked it up very quickly and even remembered it later on in the day. Which was great and I even put treats on both paws. I've also added a clip of him doing the "roll over" command. Movie titled: New Trick :: Leave It

Under the bed ...

I've noticed for days now that Ludwig likes going under the bed to sleep, if he doesn't start there he almost always ends up there. This time I caught him just in time to take a picture.

New Years Eve

Another first for Ludwig, New Years Eve:
During the day I decided to take Ludwig outside to play in the sun and to get him tired before our guess arrive. Ludwig is unlike most of the dogs we had in the past, he actually enjoys being outside. Its kind of hard to convince him to come inside after playing. I took this opportunity to take some pictures of him. It was kind of hard to get him to model for the camera, since he keep on trying to eat it. But eventually he settle down and I managed to got a few good pictures before he went running off (see below).

There is one strange thing about his ears, one of them might stay up for the day or 3 days then go back down. I don't know if this is normal, since I never had a German Shepherd puppy this young before. Yesterday and today both ears are down ... I would think once they stayed up that was it. I guess this will be just another thing to research.
