JOHNNY - Tattoo# VKO5P

3 1/2 weeks: Johnny is one of the smaller pups.
He's very busy and the first to learn to walk and sit up.

5 weeks: Johnny is still one of the smaller pups, very cute and very active.  He is getting extra time with mom to try and boost his size a bit.
He likes exploring.

6 weeks: Johnny is still small.  He is very curious and prefers to wander off after the cats, rather than eat.  He can be cuddly, but can also be very independent.  

7 Weeks:  Johnny's been for his vet check and the vet says he has a heart murmur.  She says it can very easily be something he will outgrow.  Time will tell.  He is very rambunctious, but this could be why he hasn't put much weight on.

10 week update:  Johnny has been quite sick lately and we feared he would not make it.  We babied him and had him in the house quite a bit.  Our thoughts were that he would not live more than a couple of days and as long as he wasn't suffering we would just enjoy him and let him live out the end of his life.  BUT John has made an amazing recovery and he is full of life once more.  It is still our intention to keep Johnny, but if the right home could be found, we would consider selling him.  He seems to be the smartest of the litter and he is definitely the cutest.  We don't anticipate that he will grow to a full size.  Johnny needs lots of rest and he loves lots of attention.   When he's feeling good he's very energetic and when he's not feeling well he likes to be held or just sit near people.

 

15 week update: JonJon's health bounced back and forth, but inevitably he got weaker and weaker until we were forced to make a decision to put him down.  We thoroughly enjoyed JonJon the last few weeks.  He stayed in the house, had his own kennel, watched TV with us and was allowed lots of behaviors we don't normally allow pups to get away with. At the last he was EXTREMELY thin and didn't eat very much . JonJon did not like to eat from his dish, but preferred to walk around and "find" his food, so we fed him by walking around dropping pieces of cheese, scraps of meat, etc. for him to find. He got to watch a lot of TV with us, and was allowed to lie under the table and sit on our big comfy armchair while I worked during the day.  It was with great sadness we made the decision to put him down.  We buried him in a special place, with my favourite sweatshirt at our new farm.
