We made it to 2 years old!

[goldenbear2013]

My beautiful boy Bear turned 2 last Sunday, and because I'm proud momma I wanted to post a collage of him from 7 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years old.

I now feel like a milestone has been achieved! Tears, tantrums, long nights, emergency trips to the vets in the night have ensued but we have made it through the terrible teens and have managed to produce a truly awesome dog (most of the time! lol) who I am so proud of and couldn't be without!

I now cry tears of laughter and the phrase 'what am I doing wrong!!!!!' doesn't seem to crop up much anymore!

Another year to go until he is an adult and I can sit back with a large of bottle of champagne and declare that my job is done! Lol

Oh, what a handsome Bear he is too

When they finally seem to 'get it' and the days without major time outs finally outnumber the ones where you want to tear your hair out, it does feel wonderful, doesn't it? It didn't come at age 2 with Molly because we were still very much in the middle of undoing all of the dreadful things that had been done to her by her previous owner at that age, but now she is a joy to be around (most of the time) and it's lovely.

Well, I say lovely, but her favourite mummy snuggle which involves getting nose to nose with me, with her ears drooping down the back of her neck and her face all soft and relaxed, then looking deep into my eyes and belching raw tripe burps in my face, the joy of that does wear off quite quickly while I try to regain control of my stomach and not heave

I don't have any photos of Molly as a cute baby and I miss them because I know she will have been a truly gorgeous baby, as Bear clearly was. It must have been really hard being strict with him when you needed to be when he was that cute!

 

[goldenbear2013]

Thank you Eingana for your lovely words!

To be honest the way he behaved the cuteness wore off in seconds so it wasnt hard to be strict when he drove me to the point of calling my trainer at 10pm at night asking for help!!!!

It was just so shocking to me as when he was a pup we trained him everyday, he went to be obedience classes and walked 3 times a day (still gets walked 3 times a day i must add) so when this behaviour sprung up I was just so stuck on what the hell was going wrong with my dog! lol!!

Thankfully we are past that now and I have wonderfully well balanced (most of the time) beautiful boy!!!!

And to top it off his collar from Ravenoaktree came today. I have attached a picture of him wearing it!

 

[Raven oaktree]

So glad it arrived and fits him. He is such a handsome boy . Hope your pleased with it xx

 

[goldenbear2013]

I love it!!!! I've always wanted a Marvel collar for him!

Super Bear to the rescue!!!

Thank you so much! Xxx

My pleasure x
