Sandy at Five Months Old

Happy birthday, Sandy! He's 5 months old and weighs about 46 pounds. He is long-legged and getting a real mohawk hairdo down his back as his longer wavy hair is coming in. He's gotten so demanding for exercise time, that we're having to walk him every night now once it sort of cools off here. David is training him to walk without the leash, just using verbal commands. He does good on everything except picking up the most disgusting things he can put in his mouth AND not crossing the alleys until he's told it's OK. He'll stop at the end of a street where we're going to turn and many times he will sit down there and wait for us. He's getting better around people on HIS SIDE OF THE STREET. People on the other side don't demand his attention. Cars don't bother him at all. He loves sprinklers when they're going. He runs through them and plays and roots around in the grass. Here we are at our 5 month old picture. He's such a good dog!
