14 weeks and counting

Uffa had a busy Saturday visiting Grandparents. He was in the back of the car for the 1 hour journey and seemed to be fine. We only saw him when we slowed in towns. He knew his Macduff toilet despite only having visited once before. He was really well behaved and even trotted round a walk.(mostly behind me but at least he didn't sit down) I have now heard that both his mum and grandmother were not keen on walking so it seems to be hereditary.
Sunday morning we decided to do a Tesco shop with Uffa. Again he was really good until 3/4 of the way round when he decided to lie down in the middle of the aisle. Eric decided this was a good time to leave me to finish. Who was fed up?! The rest of the day we just watched the rain and slowly lost the grass under water. We have stayed here 20+ years and have never seen this before. Uffa didn't want to see it ever and delayed toilet trips as long as he could. As we stood outside in the rain calling him he just sat inside plucking up the courage to go.
Yesterday was lovely so we were out walking again. We started on the street and that lead to the wooded area. Again Uffa was having to be coaxed on the street but seemed to enjoy the second part. Again he was allowed off the lead and he even had a 'puppy moment'. It was lovely to see his mad turn so maybe he is getting the hang of this.
Guess what? Rain again today. This is past a joke. Today is Auntie Hilary day which Alec knew meant a lovely walk followed by a coffee shop. Uffa still just thinks it means coffee as it seems to rain every Tuesday. Maybe a short damp walk first today.
Now Uffa is 14 weeks old he has decided he is too old to sit on my knee. He used to sit on my legs facing me and pull the zips on my tops up and down. He now sits beside me with only his front paws and head on my lap, usually with a toy. He is now really too big for me to carry. Puppy days pass all to quickly. Never mind I am still working on keeping him off the settee. The message has not sunk in yet, it is still too much fun!
