five months old

Yesterday our boy turned 5 months. I can’t believe how much he’s changed since the very first day we brought him home when he was just one day short of 8 weeks. Just look how tiny he was!

The difference is crazy, isn’t it?! He can be so much fun but also a lot of work. But I have to admit things are getting much better and easier with him.

Ace at the age of five months:

• is loosing his puppy teeth every single day
• he runs with us leash free (trail runs with Ivo – the longest one was 10km so far and runs on dykes with me, usually around 6km)
• he loves to cuddle
• every morning after I take him outside he waits when I take his collar off and then he sprints upstairs and jumps into our bed and cuddles with Ivo
• he has amazing sense of smell, he is sniffing in the kitchen all the time
• he has tried “counter surfing”
• he can’t have any flush toys or fabric ones, he destroys them in just few minutes
• he is too excited when he sees people and want to greet them with jumps and kisses (we have to work on this one)
• when he is tired he just decides not to listen to anyone
• he loves to play
• the color of his eyes is greenish/greyish/golden now, I’m so in love with the color
• his fur has gotten darker in the fall

He has been with us for more than 3 months now and I can’t imagine not having him around anymore.

He is definitely a part of our family.

life with Vizsla | Ace :: 3 months old

Ace is 3 months old today.  He has been with us for over 5 weeks now and Oh my, how our lives have changed since then!

Having a puppy is definitely a lot of work but also a lot of joy. And the joy is much bigger.

He has changed alot and grown up since the day we brought him home. Far gone is the little puppy. I can’t believe how tiny he was when we brought him home!

first day at home

The first few nights were tough. Being up every 1.5-2 hours at night and being able to function during the day was hard on me but I think I coped quite well with it. Since I’ve become a mom,  I have a very light sleep and I’m awaken by every single little noise.

The first morning with Ace at home was full of excitement, getting to know each other, playtime and naptimes.

Luckily he sleeps in his crate and has it has his safe place. He sleeps in our bedroom and we carry the crate downstairs for the day.

On the first weekend (2nd day at home) we had BBQ with friends at our place.  Our friends got Ace’s brother, Kona, on the same day so it was a lot of fun to see both of them reunited and playing with each other once again.

Can you tell he was tired from all that  playing?

He is such a happy little puppy. He loves to chew on everything, his favorite are strings of any kind. The best ones are the ones that hang down from hoodies. And he loves to run. Run, fast!

2 months old

The reason why we’ve chosen this breed is Vizsla’s athletic performance. Soon Ace will be able to go for long runs with us and keep up during longer hikes and bike rides. But for now we are ok with shorter walks in the woods and on dykes.

Yes, we are all in love with him even though he can be a little bit of trouble maker…

But I guess he knows how to work on us. His greeting kisses are the best!

And those eyes!! The eyes have already changed their color from blue to green/grey/yellowish color but the look is just amazing. Every. single. time! His looks just melts my heart.

2 months old

9 weeks

12 weeks

I’m so in love with the color of his fur. He is darker on the head and on the top of his back and the rest of his body is lighter.

And he is funny too :)

And sometimes he poses even though he doesn’t want to. He is the best!

Well, we can’t imagine our everyday life without him anymore. Even though it’s been only few weeks since he has been with us, he totally completes our little family. It’s getting easier to handle him. He is getting taller, leaner and cooperates more now. We are on the right track.

Happy 3-months B-day, Ace!
