Alaskan Malamute in a Bucket

So Jax the daft sod has a new game he has been putting both feet in his drinking bowl when he drinks and making a mess. This week he has gone one better we have a large bucket in  the yard full of water as our old dog liked it cold so Jax has decided it good to get inside the bucket full of water as the weather has been hot this week.

We solved the heat problem by giving him a make shift paddling pool which as can see he lies down in and drops his toys in it. He has worked out if he gets his chews and droops them in and leaves them they go software so he can eat them quicker.

The old dog used to love a balloon and carried it about like a baby  Jax is now doing  the same but it doesnt last long with his baby teeth. He is getting a real hand full as he hasnt been able to go out because of his injections. This week he had his second one so he can go out next week and we can wear him out. In the 3 weeks we have had him he has grown 2.5 inchs and has doubled his body weight from 5.3 kg to 9.6 kg ish thats as close as we got while he was on the scale.

He is now getting to sit , give a paw, down well and does it most of the time. He has just learnt he can jump and stand on his back legs to look out of the window. The jumping now means he can get on the settee but he hasnt learnt get off very well yet. We took him in the pet shop on the way home from the vets and it took me half an hour to get out with lots of women coming over saying he gorgeous, he's lovely, he’ cuddle can I stroke him I thought they meant me but I guess they meant the dog
