Jamie and I moved, and of course I had quite a job supervising the move, and then inspecting the premises to make certain it was Ziggy-friendly. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jamie is still working nights, but since I've been officially labeled "house trained", I get to sneak up on the futon and have a nap at night (or during the day) rather than be confined to my kennel. (Jamie makes me go in my kennel when she's away from the house--as I'm not <i>that</i> trustworthy yet. For example, I decided to help her utilize her toilet paper by unrolling it for her and leaving it strew about the bathroom floor. I can't for the life of me figure out why this was deemed "bad." I was just <i>helping</i>, by Crikey.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've met lots of new dogs in the new place, including another Westie named Claire. She's six and a half years old, and I'm just a pup (though I will be one years old in March--where does the time go?) I like other dogs, but they often aren't so sure about me. I also <i>love</i> people and get over excited when I meet them. This causes a bit of havoc in tight spaces like the elevator, but what can I say? I'm just a friendly guy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jamie has been taking me on nice long walks on her days off, and I'm exploring the new neighborhood in due course. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope this New Year has been treating you all well, dear readers. Til next time!</div>

Not much new going on here. Jamie is working night shift and so very, very tired that she's not been able to update this blog as much as she'd like. <br />
<br />
Christmas was uneventful here but I did get a basted center bone and yum, I love those things. Almost as much as power cords (which I have an unfortunate proclivity to chew). <br />
<br />
I got a "spa" day today at the groomer's. Here's my "before" picture:<br />

Did I tell you I'm nine months old now? Yes, and right on cue, I seem to be going through the "terrible teens." But with a face like mine, I'm sure Jamie will forgive me. Because I'm <i>that</i> cute.

I've been working a wonky 12 hour night shift and getting so very little sleep it's a wonder I'm still alive.<br />
<br />
Ziggy is growing up and is 8 months old now. He has taken to barking a the postal people (we keep him indoors--it's just when he hears them coming to the door) and had his first "sleep over" at the pet sitter's house when we went up to Whistler, BC for the weekend. I think he enjoyed playing with the dog... but I think he probably terrorized the cats. <br />
<br />
Here's a couple pictures to tide you over while I get my act together and take more decent photos.<br />

Hi ya there, it's Ziggy again. Jamie got a New Job and is working night shift, so haven't been able to update as often as I'd like (wish I knew her password so I could sneak onto the internet at night when she's working).<br />
<br />
I thought you'd all appreciate some pictures of me, since it's been a few months. I'm doing fine, sassy as ever!<br />

Ziggy got his first grooming today and looks absolutely adorable. The photos really don't do him justice; he likes to try to attack the camera whenever I try to take pictures of him. </div>

<br />
Ziggy went in for his neuter and microchipping this weekend and did well with anesthesia--just a little hoarseness from the breathing tube--so he kind of mewled and squeaked rather than barked and "aroo'ed" for a couple of days. But he was chipper and spunky as ever when I took him home, with a great appetite, as usual. <br />
<br />
He escaped the dreaded e-collar because he was so miserable looking in it and he didn't bother the surgical incision site at all. We go back to the dog-tor for a check up this weekend but I think he'll be just fine. <br />
<br />
We'll post with pictures soon! Ziggy is growing like a weed and finally can go up the stairs outside of the house (we're still working on going down the stairs with confidence). Love him to pieces.

<br />
Ziggy will be fifteen weeks tomorrow and is truly capturing my heart more and<br />
more each day. He's adjusted well to staying in his kennel while I am at work,<br />
and having the pet sitter come and take him out instead. This week I am working<br />
12p-1030p.m. so it's late when I come home and Ziggy zooms around the living<br />
room in sheer delight after I release him from the kennel. I feel badly that I<br />
then have to turn around and crate him again in an hour or so when I go to bed,<br />
but he rarely complains about being put in the kennel any more, and if he does,<br />
it's short and sweet... but I figure many dogs are confined to their crate all<br />
day long and they, too, adjust.<br />
<br />
He's a very vocal puppy who likes to bark when he's playing (even by himself<br />
with his toys) and barks particularly hard at the Kong Wobbler once the kibble<br />
is gone. It's as if he's mad that he's pushing it around and the toy isn't<br />
producing kibble anymore--drat it! "How dare the Kong Wobbler defy me and not<br />
produce kibble?!" Ziggy seems to be saying. I guess Ziggy's just a socialite who<br />
loves a good running banter between you, him, and the food dish you're preparing ;-).<br />
<br />
He is (knock on wood) doing better in the housetraining department than last<br />
week, when he had a few accidents. While most of it is still management, he<br />
does ask to go outside some of the time, and I think it's starting to sink in<br />
that outside = potty area since I take him to the exact same spot time after<br />
time. No accidents in his kennel this week, either (there have been a couple<br />
over the course of time, but in general he doesn't mess in there).<br />
<br />
I've ratcheted down my puppy kindergarten expectations a great deal and mostly<br />
see it as an opportunity for him to meet other people and other puppies and<br />
socialize, with a wee bit of training thrown in as a side benefit. I know some<br />
puppies are able to do amazing amounts of things at his age, but Ziggy is Ziggy<br />
and we're just happy he's his bright, cheerful, optimistic and opinionated<br />
self--the obedience stuff will sink in later, though of course we're setting the<br />
foundation now.<br />
<br />
Also, he's growing like a weed. I had to buy the next size up harness for him,<br />
and he's already had to have it loosened around the belly once. I also had to<br />
buy him another collar as he was outgrowing his puppy collar.<br />
<br />
To celebrate the Fourth of July, we're taking him down to the near the water,<br />
just for the treat of taking him on a long walk (with my hours and the<br />
weather competing for walk time, he's been sadly short changed this week). He hasn't<br />
had any reaction to the random fireworks shot off in anticipation of the Fourth<br />
around the neighborhood, so I'm hopeful he'll remain calm and unflappable during<br />
the fireworks tonight, though of course we won't be bringing him to see the<br />
fireworks. I probably won't even go, as traffic is likely to be a nightmare and<br />
so forth.<br />
<br />
And that's Ziggy in a nutshell at fifteen weeks. Can't believe he's going to be<br />
four months old next week... where did the time go?Ziggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10364699172075168720noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92129749435098860.post-38668623519188422532012-06-26T06:35:00.001-07:002012-06-26T06:36:32.070-07:00Pausing to pose<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Ziggy, here. Sorry it's been awhile since I've updated my blog, but Jamie is busy with something she calls a new job. This means I stay in my kennel and get walked and fed three times a day by a nice lady who isn't Jamie, but I hardly see Jamie at all during the week now. So I am forced to catch up on my napping and beauty rest, and am rarin' to go when she comes back home from her job. We do go for lovely walks when she's around, though.<br />
<br />
Don't worry. I have been helping Jamie with her "new job," giving her advice as to her new benefits package. It went something like this:<br />

<br />
It's been about a month since I got Ziggy, and just this week he <i>finally</i> started sleeping through the night. At the first few nights, I was up all night, every few hours, taking him outside. Knock on wood, I hope he continues this trend of sleeping through the night. (He wakes up around dawn, meaning I'm up around 0530 or 0600--this doesn't amuse me, but what can I do about it? Nothing. Just stifle a yawn, grab his leash, and get sweet puppy kisses in return.)<br />
<br />
He also prefers to eat out of puzzle toys, and has totally figured out his <a href="http://www.nipandbones.com/nina-ottosson-dog-brick.html">Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Toy </a>and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kong-PW1-Wobbler-Dog-Toy/dp/B003ALMW0M">Kong Wobbler</a>. Give him fresh dog food in a bowl, even the good stuff, and he'll eat a bite or two and then walk away. Give him stale (ok, so I don't really feed him stale food) kibble in his Kong Wobbler, and he's all over it. Go figure.<br />
<br />
We're still working on leash walking. For the most part, he doesn't pull on the leash. Oh no. Not Ziggy. That would be too blase. No, he has to <i>balk</i>. I like to joke that I take him not on a walk, but a balk. He wants to go where he pleases, and sometimes he'll have the attention span to more or less walk with me, and other times, not so much.<br />
<br />
Also figured out he hates downpours. <i>Swell</i>. A dog, who lives in Seattle, which is like, Rain City Capitol, and he <i>hates rain</i>.<br />
<br />
Ditto with bath time, nail clipping, and brushing. Lots of fun we're having these days.<br />
<br />
But he is a fun little chap, and with any luck, one day, we'll get to that wonderful place called <strike>adulthood</strike> sanity.<br />
<br />
Signing off,<br />
