Magnum is growing super fast! He's almost as big as Biscuit and he's only 3 months old. Speaking of Biscuit, she has a total phobia about her feet. Steve recently took Biscuit to the vet to get her nails trimmed for the first time. I warned him that it was going to be a very stressful event and not just a little jaunt to the vets office for a simple nail trim. I warned him to make sure the vet knows to muzzle her. Yes we actually have to muzzle our sweet little smurtle! So they chose not to muzzle her and she lost her darn mind! Steve said she looked like the little tazmanian devil at the vets office trying to remove any digits or limbs in the vicinity of her paws. The vet tried to continue trimming her nails and I guess after he almost lost a finger he decided to muzzle her. After she was muzzled it took 2 people to hold her down for the nail trim. Once the trim was over and the muzzle was removed she was fine, back to sweet little Biscuit. When she got her rabies shot, she spent two days in her kennel. She wouldn't come out for food or to get in the bed. Anytime you touched her she screamed bloody murder.
Then there's Magnum. He lays on his back and sleeps through his nail trims. He got his rabies shot and didn't make a peep. He ran around like nothing ever happened. He could care less. We have found that Magnum also likes to dig holes and play in mud puddles. Unfortunately we don't notice he's been doing it until he's run in the house tracking his little muddy paw prints all over the floor.
In other news I finally decided to get off my lazy bum and start going to the gym with Steve every morning. I figured what the heck, he wakes me up every morning, I fall back asleep and then it's harder for me to get up. So now I get up with him and go. It's been nice hanging out before work and getting the work out over with! He's very good about his schedule so he's been a great motivator.
Here are some pictures from the last month or so:
