Week Five
I keep meaning to update the blog but everything has been frantic now I am back at work!
Tess has really become a feature in our lives, and is doing very well. At 13 week s old, she is almost completely toilet trained, and there have been very few accidents in the past few weeks. She is growing at a ferocious rate and now weights in at just over 9kg. She has a longer snout and legs and the rest appears to be catching up.

She has also met some new folks int hepast few weeks. Sam and Nick and Melanie came over for a visit and a play which Tess was very excited about. We have als o had some repeat visitors to keep us company. With the hot weather Tess discovered the joy of water when we purchased her a clam shell. She had a great deal of fun swimming with Georgie McColm in the pool.

Tess has also had her secoind shots and has been chipped- Ron calls her "superdog" I just call her the 6 Million dollar Dog. She enjoyed the visti to the vet ( despite the injections and pain) so much I had to drag her away.

We also did our first big car trip since coming home from Donnybrook, we went to visit Granny and Granda Allison. Tess was very excited about the trip but less certain about the drive home in the dark. She enjoyed the lush green grass, something she has not been used to to at home. She also took a liking to Dad's herbs and Thyme seemed to be her favorite.

We start Puppy school on Wednesday night, it will be great fun to let her loose with other dogs.

See you next chat!
