End of the 2nd Week

Eddie is rapidly learning the do's and don't's of the house. He has only had a couple of accidents in the first two weeks and they were attributed to dad's not paying attention at all times. Eddie is retrieving to hand and realizes that he has to deliver to hand before he is rewarded. He is turning into a retrieving machine! Eddie has little tantrums when he thinks he is being treated unfairly or too harsh. He will nip to show his displeasure. A combination of a gentler hand and a little dominance reinforcement on the muzzle are seeming to gain his understanding. Eddie's command of the german language is impressive. He knows "sitz", "komm", and "aus" Next in line are "platz" and "foos". We are all amazed at how intelligent Eddie is and how fast he learns when the teacher uses an effective way of delivering the message. One thing we surely know about Munsterlander's - they respond best to teaching and not good at all to forced training. Probably a testament to their keen intelligence! What a pup. He's our baby - who looks to be destined for some awesome days in the field! He'll make his mutter, fader, Tom and Deb proud to be a Foxtal Kennel Pupster!!!!!!!

The Vet

I went to the Vet on Monday. I was really good. The doctor couldn't believe how good I was when he gave me my shot. I came home with some medicine. I am a very good patient. I weigh about 25 pounds. I will probably double in size. I love being outdoors and exploring. I really like going through the bushes.

My First Week

I am getting used to my new home. I really like my family. I don't like it when they leave me alone. I really like playing with my family and friends.

Eddie loves meeting new people and other doggies. Sadie came over today and she didn't know what to do. Eddie was a little too excited. Roxy brought him the perfect toy. It is a stuffed pheasant that squeaks. He loves it.
