Adolescence puppy living is fun, exciting, and sometimes challenging. Gizmo is 9-1/2 months old.

Gone is the little puppy weighing 8 pounds who depended on us 100%.  Gizmo weighs 41 pounds. He’s taller, sassier, and verbal.

Gizmo is usually quiet. He squeaks to get attention or just squeak. He asks to go on the deck or on a walk. When in the garage, he marches up to a car door and sits – dog park is calling.

Like many people living with adolescence puppy, we’re a little lax on training. I call it Covid Puppy Syndrome.
