We had the first snow this week and of coarse jax loved it he was jumping trying to catch the flakes rolling in it, eating it, digging in it. He had been off his food for a few days and even refused bread. But he is back eating and making up for the lost meals. We weighed him at the vets and he hasnt put much on he is now 36 kg or 80lbs in old money. Not eating he may have lost a little bit. He was bouncy enough but just didnt want to eat he may have had a tummy bug.
We got a new mattress this week for the bed and put the old one in the yard ready to go to the tip but Jax has decided its made for him and loves it as he can bounce on it as well as sleep.
He still loves jumping up on the bridge watching the ducks trying to get their bread. We have tried to cut down his bread as he was getting to much. He is being silly eating put food in his bowl and he wont touch it but hide it around the house or throw it to him he eats it
One thing about Jax who is now 8 months old is if he sees muck, dirt or water he will go in it given half a chance. After having a bath to get rid of the mud on him I took him out and suddenly he saw mud that was it off like a lunatic straight into the mud a quick run in the mud then lets lay down in the mud just for fun.
He still appears to be getting more teeth as there are some very small ones coming through. He has been off his food a bit lately but its hard to tell. Most people would think they eat a lot but they eat very little for the size of the dog and everything they do eat is used up so very small pooh. At –40 were they live their bodies have to make every once of food count
Jax loves caring can if he sees one in the street he like to pick it up if we can get him to bring the pop etc it would be a good thing.
Take him out and there is a muddy puddle he will find it no matter how far away it is and he is in it he doesnt mind going out in the rain he will fall asleep outside in the rain if he can. He had a massive doggy chew for xmas and he is the first dog that has every bitten one in half we have had lots of dogs that chew then get fed up. By the end of the day it was in two halves and it was over a foot long and really thick
Jax has a new enemy the big bear he loves playing/killing is toys so we found this big bear as big as him. He has had great fun playing with it and bouncing all over it this week.
We now have lots of pictures of Jax from puppy till now on Skydrive take a look
Mals are not supposed to be good with other little animals but here Jax visits the Queens Park everyday and watch's the ducks who couldn't care less about the big dog watching them but he does try and steal their bread give half a chance
Jax has now got the habit of jumping up and standing at the slightest excuse here he is at the Queens Park looking over the bridge to look at the ducks in case they get some of his bread. People feeding the ducks now have to feed the dog as well bread and pizza are his favourite foods. People say he is getting bigger all the time but we dodnt see it being with him all the time. He is loving the cold weather and we are waiting for the first snow to see what he makes of that.
Here he is with his teddy he loves to fight with and cuddle up to.
Malamutes are not supposed to make good guard dogs but Jax doesnt seem to have read the book he barks at anyone in the area of the back yard and if you come in next door you will find him on the wall barking at you. What makes it more frightening is next doors path is a few feet lower than ours so he appears as a very big dog enough to frighten any one away.
He still has a liking for park bench's as soon as he sees one he claims it as his own and if anyone is sitting there he insists in washing their ears for them its his latest trick. His howling is getting loader and he is doing it a lot more any sign of a siren and he goes into full flow.
