Babe continues to do well. I’ve discovered that he knows how to point like a Pointer but he has excellent style when something on the counter or table captures the interest of his nose. That nose freezes everything all the way down his back to the tip of his tail in a rigid point. Then he sits down and stays very, very still not moving one hair. His nose and head remain fixed about an inch from the source of his admiration. His eyes take on a fixed, intense look of concentration. He looks like he is trying to levitate the source of his interest. So far nothing has levitated, but you never know!
Babe loves his soft beds and like a true Labrador Retriever he carries a ball around with him much of the time. He is the quintessential house dog. He likes to trot along side when we feed the horses but he is eager to be inside all the rest of the time. When I leave for work, he and a couple of other of the best- behaved dogs remain inside the house with doggie door access to the back area. He’s very good and never bothers anything, so he is still maintaining his Good Boy image.
Babe is due for his second and third shots early in February. He’s lost a little weight and his coat is gradually improving as well. So all goes according to plan.
