Monza update

Hi everyone,

Monza discovered birdies in flight this morning.  Sat right down immediately
and stared at them.  It was too funny, but I contained my laughter.  The
other day, he was a little mystified by an airplane.  Too bad the Air Force
wasn't still here, then he'd see them much more often.

Monza had an appointment with Dr. Brauer, his vet, this morning.  Thought
some of you might be interested in what we did and what experiences we've
had....

He had the second set of shots and was administered the nasal Bordetella.
We did the Bordetella after some discussion about how I'm going to either
have one on one sessions with a trainer or a small group.  Regardless, I
know that he's going to be around other animals of unknown origin eventually
and so he suggested that we be precautionary.  Dr. Brauer gave me a personal
recommendation of a lady in the area that is very good with puppies.  In
fact, he even told me his take of the people offering puppy classes in the
area.  Monza loves to fetch and learn new things.  I swear he feels best
doing that.  Like what some of you have expressed, Monza is also going
through the stage of biting & most especially people biting.  Need to curb
that and get his attention on other things.

The vet checked him all over again without any prompting - yes!  Thank
goodness I found this guy.  Monza's little penile infection seems to be
gone, but he still likes to urinate every hour or so when out of the crate.
I believe he's concentrating his urine, so we don't think there's anything
wrong in that aspect.  Actually, we came to a possible conclusion of it
being his food.  Well, I told the vet that I don't think it's the Wellness
(not sure the sodium content of that brand - anyone know?)....but I
mentioned the cottage cheese could have something to do with it.  I hope
that's the BINGO!  No more cottage cheese.  Speaking of Wellness, anyone
else besides Ilene using this brand?  Let me tell you....I wish I had
Monza's constitution!  Like should I start eating Wellness?!  HA!

So you're asking how much does this little guy weigh?  17.5 pounds

He's sacked out on the kitchen floor right now allowing me to write all of
you.  Now's my chance to get some laundry done too - better close while I've
got the time.
