This week we went to the vets for Jax to get chipped. The vet weighed him at 21.1KG so he is still putting on 1kg or more a day and doubling his weight every 3 weeks or so. He is now 22inch in height at 19 weeks. His colour is still changing as you can see below it looks like he is going to be mostly black & white as he get his new coat. He has now got new teeth coming through so he has started chewing more but up to now nothing in the house as we keep him well supplied with toys chews and bones. I will be glad when those puppy teeth go as they are like needles.
He loves chasing flys and moths and searching for grubs and things. Its worrying but in there home land they often live by digging for bugs and things so its natural for them to do it. As they survive in the most hostile place on earth he should be ok. Apparently one Malamute is equivalent to 3 huskes in terms of pulling a sledge.
He is getting a bit more lively and we are getting ready to increase his walks but it has been to hot in the day to take him out at the moment at mid day. Once the weather cools he will be able to go to the park for 2 hours like Max used to do. He is a pain at night as he goes to sleep outside and come bed time I have to carry him in still asleep and at 46 lbs its no simple job. I wonder what he think when he goes to sleep in the garden and wakes in the kitchen?
