New Year New Harness

Grady is becoming bigger and bigger each day! He loves to eat and play, and steal bones from his brother (poor Griffin)
Grady is now able to climb all of the stairs going up, but is still unable to go down more than one step. I am fine with this as it makes it much easier to know where he is at all times! He did manage to go down both steps on our back porch to get to the yard a few days ago, but has not done it sense. 
Grady is doing MUCH better about crying in his crate. He still cries a bit but the kong has helped a lot and he has calmed down. We had to upgrade his crate to Griffin's giant crate which he has not used in over 4 years. Grady seems much happier in the bigger crate and hasn't had an accident yet so I suppose it is working. 
Grady had a bath a few weeks ago, he does not like them much and especially does not like the blow dryer! I am going to need to book a grooming appointment for him soon so that he can get used to being groomed. His hair is growing longer and he is just so cute and fluffy! 
We also had to get Grady a new harness as he outgrew the adorable xxxs size we got him when he first came home. This one is red and matches his leash. He looks very handsome in it and loves to strut his stuff on walks when the weather is decent. I can't wait for longer warmer days to arrive so that we can enjoy an evening stroll. 
Here are some pictures of Grady's most recent adventures.

Grady's First Christmas

Grady had a great first Christmas! He got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa for the first time as well as his "uncle" Rafferty! He loved getting to meet everyone and even got to go to a holiday party at my sister's house where he made many new friends. Grady is growing so much and weighed 4.2 lbs at his last vet appointment. He is teething and chewing a lot and especially loves to chew his daddy's fingers and wrists... this is unfortunate for Mike!

 Helping Mama wrap Christmas presents... he loved the wrapping paper and wanted to shred it!

 With one of his favorite Christmas presents!

 The holidays are exhausting! Even for little pups!

 Those eyes melt my heart! Griffin is so handsome. 

 Snuggles

 Griffin loves his Grandma!

 Don't let Mike near your hair... this might happen!

 Grady got to listen to Grandpa play some guitar music... it scared him and he had to go to his father for comfort... so cute!

 The poor little guy did not know what was happening.

 What pretty boys!



 Another present! A dinosaur nyla bone!

 Grady loves his naps!

A major accomplishment!! Grady is a graduate of puppy training class!!
