A QUICK UPDATE ON DOUG

Doug continues to do very well.  He no longer plays catch me if you can.  He is the one that ends the game of chase by coming to me.  He plays all day long at daycare and I'm told he's even had a few time outs for being too enthusiastic.  Apparently, he's getting past the honeymoon phase.  He's still a good boy but sometimes gets carried away with a good play. 

He's less likely now to chew on bits sticking out of rugs than he was a few weeks ago but it's taken alot of redirection for him to realize the difference between toys and rugs.  That's not to say he doesn't still try.  He is learning to fetch but only when I throw toys away from his preferred playing spot.  He runs and pounces and then brings them back.  He sleeps very well through the entire night and sleeps in on weekends.  He asks for the door when he needs to go out and is still not much for barking. 

Here's a quick video of him from this last week.  He tries so very hard to stay awake when we drive home from daycare.  Not sure why he feels he has to fight it, but he does.  (p.s. the quality isn't that good from my phone and no worries....it was propped up and ready to go before I started driving)
