First The Award
Last week Everyday Adventures in Havachon Heaven awarded us the very pretty One Lovely Blog Award.
Thank you so much for this award. The brown dawgs really appreciate the recognition. We just love little Daisy the Havachon and if you haven’t been over to visit her, you must stop by and check out her antics. There are also dog toy reviews which you may find very helpful. 🙂
The award is to recognize the work of fellow bloggers and to let them know that their work is appreciated. Heck I could share this one 100 times over. 🙂 But as I still have a couple of awards to share, I will pass this one on to three that I enjoy:
Misty Shores Chesapeakes –Stop on over and check out the two new Chessie pups that have been added to the pack. (Plus I think this award will look pretty on this blog ;)).
Tanner Trains the Family–A young Golden who is recovering from an injury. Tanner isn’t letting his injury get him down, he can still rip up a toy like nobody’s business.
Bongo Dog Blog–Everyday presents a new adventure for Bongo which he shares on his blog, (and he is a great storyteller).
Thanks again to Daisy and her people for this great award.
Now For Lunch
Freighter sure has fit in as far as eating times are concerned. We call every doggie meal “lunch time” here. I don’t know why, it is just the word we started using with our Golden and we still use it. However with Freighter, I don’t even have to say the word. Once he sees “his” bowl being readied, as far as he is concerned, it is lunch time.
We soak his kibble, add a bit of soft food and a dollop of yogurt so it takes a bit to get the bowl ready. Freighter has learned to come and wait in the kitchen which at this point I allow because I like to keep an eye on him and don’t want to always shove him in a crate. (Plenty of time for him to learn boundaries.) However somebody can get a bit impatient.

We are still feeding him four times a day, so eventually he gets the picture and waits patiently.
He is starting to look like a big dog. Jodi Stone asked how we were enjoying the puppy. He is great. Such a sweetie (when he isn’t trying to bite with his razor puppy teeth :)). But I am always behind these days. Between the four times a day feedings and potty training, (which is going well just takes time) and running back and forth to work…behind. I am also always behind on reading/commenting on blogs, updating my blog roll/side bar, and passing on awards. I hope to catch up soon. 🙂
I just melt every time I see Freighters gorgeous eyes! Amazing how Freighter has stolen even all our hearts out here in blogville! I have also been meaning to comment on the picture you put of him in your side bar. I love it, he looks like such a big boy!
OMG! I got so wrapped up in Freighter I forgot to congratulate you on your award! It was very deserving. Now I am off to check out Misty Shores Chesapeakes as that is the one blog I haven’t visited! Congrats!
Hi there! Frieghter is getting bigger everyday. I am not even kidding. Anyways, ah I remember my little little puppy days (even though I still am a puppy!) when I used to be impatient about food. My humans dip my kibble in some warm water and I remember it took me a while to really learn to sit and wait for them. Eventually I got the hang of it and now whenever I hear the sound of running water I know that my food is being made!:)
Take your time and enjoy the puppy while you can, we will still be here. 🙂 He is so cute and reminds me of Delilah with the feeding. She thinks if she barks I will work faster, but I stop. I look at her and say, “Don’t speak to me like that.” When she stops I start up again and if she barks….well you know.
Thanks for the shout out. 🙂 I ask a lot of questions. LOL
I don’t know if you know this, but many Chessies “roo” rather than bark. Freighter is a real “roo’er”. He “roos” rather than barks many times, (but he barks too). It is cute, but I also stop and tell him him “quiet” before I resume the “cooking”.
Keep the questions coming. It helps to inspire posts. 🙂
Congrats on the award! Yogurt in the food sounds pretty darn good. I am sure he is loving it! Even if it takes a while!
Elka loves yogurt in her food (though I never did the water part). Sounds like he’s catching on well!
Our puppy is now almost 10 months old–It has gone way too fast, and your post reminds me of how quickly time has gone. Continue to enjoy these days, even the little mishaps which I wouldn’t trade for anything are and will be treasured memories! THANKS for sharing Freighter with us!!
He sure is growing up, but still has a puppy face!
Congratulations on the award Jodi!
I always look forward to new pics of Freighter – he seems to have grown with every new photo you post! Going to be a big boy!
Being a puppy is so hard – so many things to learn! Pictures of Freighter are really a pick-me-up in the middle of the day!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! YAY!! The Collies roar their approval. Your blog is beautiful and you deserve this award! 🙂 Now your freighter is one beautiful little guy. He is so handsome and we are always intrigued at how his eyes just ooze intelligence. 🙂
Great post and your blog is a favorite of ours!
God Bless You!
The Collies and Chuck 🙂
Congrats on the award!! You have an absolutely adorable puppy I absolutely love his eyes!
Aww he’s too cute! I can’t believe how much he has grown since the baby pictures I’ve seen! Busy schedules always block us from our fun blogging times! He’ll grow up quick and before you know it, you’ll be missing the busy schedule. ^_^ Keep those pictures coming though, I just love seeing his adorable face!
Hi Y’all,
Great pics of Freighter!
Congrats on the award!
Don’t worry, we’re all behind. I recall the saying ” the faster I go the behinder I get”! Seems to apply here.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Congratulations on your award and thank you for honoring me with it. I think the real honor though is getting to see all these cute pics of Freighter.
Freighter! I mailed your package today:) Your beautiful eyes are captivating! You look very well mannered to me!
Congrats on the Award!
At our house, we are always playing catch up…there just never seems to be enough TIME.
Congratulations on your award I am really enjoying reading abt Storm, Thunder and Freighter and seeing the great pictures. I admit, that I am hooked on Freighter. He is very smart and so adorable 🙂
Congratulations on your award.
Mmm… soft kibble. I feed Peanuts 3 times a day. Do you think it’s better to feed her more often?
Freighters looks in tip top shape. He’s sooooo cute.
Huggies and cheese,

Freighters look so adorable. I agree with Basset Momma. Those eyes are captivating.
