Meet Ruff. Yes, Isaiah named him. He is a shared birthday present...Mine and Isaiah's. I have NO idea what he is, we are thinking some sort of Border Collie mix. He's definitely smart as a whip, We've had him 2 weeks and he's already reliably sitting, will roll over, shake, down, and touch. Potty training has been WAY easier than I expected - I do clean up accidents but he follows Walter outside and will go on his own. He also walked pretty well on a leash - the one time we've been able to get out (also with Walter).
Isaiah LOVES his doggy!

Isaiah is SUCH an amazing little boy. Has SO much to say, and is getting grammar is surprising ways. We're talking about 6 or 7 word sentences that are correct except for some pronunciation. It's so funny to hear him so "No, get down Doofus" when Ruff is jumping on him (I call the puppy Doofus all the time). He's also getting better about sharing - we went to check out a new daycare yesterday and he picked something up that another kid had dropped...and gave it back to her! And he LOVES to read. Only certain books over and over and over and over, but that's ok. I'm pretty sure I have Cat in the Hat memorized by now. I am a bit disappointed that he wants nothing to do with the new books I got him the other day: Green Eggs and Ham and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I thought he was excited about Go Dog Go but he just wanted to carry it around and talk about the dogs driving the cars.
