Ohhhhh Erica I'm sooooooo sorry to read about Fiddler. Hugs to you. I think Fiddler wanted to make sure you were in good hands with Bacci, before he could let you know that it was his time to go ...I know he'll be keeping an eye on the maligator and you. RIP Fiddler

The third and fourth picture of Bacci should be titled "imp" - I love the look... as long at it is on someone elses Malinois'. When he grows into those ears....he's definitely gonna be a big boy.

Missed your post about the licking of people's faces - with an occasional bite Zane did a lick-lick-bite on our drive back from the airport at 8 weeks old - back into the crate he went, while I bled the two hour drive home and BIB laughed because SHE was suppose to be his "bite toy".

Thanks for the pictures....keep em coming.

Quita

Thanks... I miss him so much, but I knew it was the right thing to do.

I totally remember the story of you picking Zane up from the airport! Thought of you and Zane when Bacci made that guy get a bloody nose! I'm trying to get photos every weekend, at least while he's growing so quickly. Will keep posting photos/videos on this thread.

So funny... Michael called him a "Little Devil" the other day. And when Bacci has his temper tantrums, I call him, "The Evil One." LOL

I'm trying to take pictures every weekend since he's growing and changing so quickly! In these latest photos, his ears started to stand at 11 1/2 weeks old... Then they fell down again! LOL The photos with the floppy ears were taken today. He just turned 12 weeks old on Saturday and did his first search & rescue puppy trail on Sunday. So far, so good.. He did really well.

Ears are up.... briefly!

Think he could use a few more toys ?

I know! LOL So funny! When I saw that photo enlarged I just laughed! He's always so full of energy. I just keep throwing things in there to keep him busy while I work on the computer from home! When I get up in the morning, I spend an hour doing dog stuff before taking my shower and getting some work done. I let him play with Risa, do some fetching, tugging, obedience, etc. After all that, he takes a nap and I can get some work done. Then a few hours later, he's ready to go again. He'll play by himself with his toys, so I just keep putting them in there for him. LOL After he plays for awhile, however, it's time for another play and train session. Then in the evening we usually go to the park and/or he goes to puppy classes.

Edit: When we get home from puppy class, he usually needs another play session with Risa before he's ready to settle for the evening. That's what we did tonight.

Spoiled Rotten It's good that he can be trusted with stuffy type toys - Zane is that way, but my other three would rip those type of toys to shreads. He's sooooo cute with those ears that are (for now) soooo big in comparison to his head. NO POSTING (of the ears) REQUIRED! Of course I just had to rub that in

Won't be long and he will be leaping over the gates of his "playground" , as big as he is already he just might walk over them

Thanks for sharing the pictures - remember if you get tired of him...send him my way!

Quita

Yeah, he's pretty good with the stuffies. He just got some stuffing today, but it was because Risa already put a hole in the toy! He doesn't spend much time in his playground now... especially when he has energy! Risa is 2 years old and will still stay in a small xpen.. not try to get out. Bacci is already leaping away, and once he starts to leap around, I have to take him out. LOL At least the crate has a "roof" on it.

I might send him your way for a short visit once those hormones set in... when he hits his "teens" LOL. He still sucks on his blankie.. just like Fiddler did. Maybe it's Fiddler's way of keeping a part of himself in our home.... I like to think of it that way. When I watch Bacci with his blanket, I always think of Fiddler...
