chase This is M.P. Chase at 9 weeks

Chase is now 13 weeks and counting. He weighs 8.7 lbs. He is very healthy and active. We walk Chase one mile in the morning after breakfast and one mile in the evening after dinner. At lunch we only have time to eat and play alittle through the week. Then the weekend comes and we go visiting and play on the beach. I think he gets lonely on Monday mornings as he knows we have to go to work. Chase enjoys playing with his Zebra baby of whom he chews up all day and cuddles with at night. Of course, his Zebra is no longer white or completely intact. Chase will play fetch which is what we do at lunch to get in a little exercise. He walks very well on a leash for being a puppy. He likes to stop once in awhile to take in the smells, but for the most part he does very well. Cars still scare him somewhat, but he is getting better about just watching them go by. He loves other dogs, children, all people and especially laying on his dad's lap usually falling asleep (his dad says he is watching TV with him). He knows how to sit on command when there is a treat involved. Otherwise he has short term memory lapses. Our aim is to keep him well socialized and become a good neighbor.

Chase's personality is very different from my first Pug "Mei Ling" of whom is gone now. I try not to compare, but it is difficult. Mei Ling was the best friend I ever had. She was always there when I needed her. She listened to me for countless hours through some very hard times in my life. I am looking forward to a long and happy friendship with Chase...once he gets done teething and stops biting us. We stick a chew toy in his mouth when we see him coming. Otherwise it is a gamble as to who is going to get a kiss and who is going to get a bite. He has energy that knows no bounds. When he is tired he just collapses. Chase has brought back a joy to our home. Return to Homepage
