Geordi at 5 months

Geordi lost his first puppy tooth today. He is nearly 20 lbs and is a nipping a lot less (but not 100% nip-free just yet). He knows: Sit, Down, Wait, Come, Shake (paw), Fetch, Catch, Go Home (into crate), and Place (onto a designated rug in the kitchen). He loves to be combed, belly-rubbed, and often leans his head and furry warm body against our legs. When he comes out of his crate in the morning, he sleepily arches his back like a cat. He's always ready to play!

He likes to use my lap as a couch. He loves his Nylabone (wolf-version), steals socks and towels, and when he naps he looks like a sea lion on its side. He jumps triumphantly from the couch when we tell him to Get Off and loves to be chased. He is an expert going up and down the stairs at full speed. He has discovered wood and my hair. The dishwasher scared him for a day. He ate a piece off of the exercise bike foot pedal.

He often urinates on the people and/or pets he greets, because they are SOOOO exciting! They don't seem to mind, though. His paws are always active and grabbing and touching and oh so cute.

He smells lightly of corn flakes...Geordi is a good dog.
