Nine Months Old!

It’s hard to believe Roby is 9 months old because he seems so grown up now; I have a hard time remembering he’s still a puppy. Oh, we still have lots of puppy play, and he still tests his limits, but he learns fast. I think his favorite thing to do right now is jump from his bed on the floor up to my chair and then back down. He can do this over and over again and one time almost went flying over the top of the chair! I’m glad I was sitting in the chair at the time he did it or he could have really hurt himself.

He’s still a happy puppy and when we go out for walks he’s beside himself when he sees his favorite people. His tail wags so fast I’m almost positive it’s going to come off his backside! Of course, he still barks a lot on our walks, which can get to be embarrassing, especially at 1:00 or 2:00 AM. I guess he just has a lot to say and doesn’t mind saying it! I hope he always stays as happy as he is now. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for his grinning smile.

He definitely needs a haircut. That is still his puppy coat, but the good news is that he is getting his first haircut this coming Monday. I pity the poor guy that is going to cut him, knowing how resistant Roby is to new things. It is really going to be a challenge. I kind of like his scruffiness, but his hair is beginning to mat now, so it’s time. I’ve been brushing him, but that isn’t an easy chore, and he most definitely doesn’t like his belly being brushed. I have this vision of this little dog coming back half groomed with razor burns all over, and through no fault of the groomer. So, we shall see, we shall see.
