How does he sleep?

So I was kinda sick a few days ago and got to go home earlier. Sneaked up on him and guess what I found

How he looks like when he wakes up. So blur looking! LOL

Also his ears are almost fully errected!

Ear is standing!

Almost 3 months old and his ear finally began to stand! but unfortunately lol only one haha

a few weeks ago the left ear stood up first. Now the it drooped again, and the right ear finally stood up...

also recently the hair around his muzzle started to drop on the mass. Wonder if it's Mange but how on earth he contracted it hmm

Tricks

Almost reaching the age of 3 months old.

First and easiest trick, Sit. why ? because he always sit without fail. Well not really sit but he drops his bottom and sits there. so didn't take too long to learn that.

second, lay down. This was a tad bit trickier for him as he did have this tendency of chasing my hand with treats. Finally he got the idea and voila.

third, move from down to a sit position. Easy, just put the treat over his nose and slowly move upwards. Learnt it somewhat, but need practise

forth, stand. Not sure if he got the idea, but when it comes to standing he will get up, BUT moves towards the treat. credits for the attempt but will need to teach him to just stand and not move. He's doing a lot of trial an error till he gets his treat.

Trying to find a clicker as should be easier to teach him with that. Still no luck. Shipping cost for one is about 10times more than the item itself

When it's feeding time, I try to get him to practise all the tricks before feeding him. But now he's so used to it, he's doing every one of them before I even ask. Smart kid, but nope, sorry he'll have to wait for the commands. He sits, he goes down, jumps back to a sit position, then stands. Basic routine but breaking it now.

one habit he seemed to have learnt is playing on his urinepads. I used them for him when he's being doggy-sit. One pad covers his whole crate. So I'm guessing he's used to sitting on it, playing etc. Which I'm trying to break that habit now as it's not that hygenic. Even if the urine is absorbed it's still a little moist sometimes.

Picture time

Some updated pictures of Venus with Popy

His naughty look

Taught him to sit

Venus and Popy both usually sits side by side

Venus>> Ooo can I touch?

Venus>> It bites!

Popy>> Save me....please....

How much can a puppy grow in a week ish?

1 week ago

Now

Whatever position you put his tiny little hands when you lay him on his back. He'll stay in the position for 1-2 minutes before he starts squirming lol

Another pic of him standing

Escaped!

What do puppies do when they are bored and left alone? They escape! That's what happened to Venus. Apparently I did not close the play-pen well enough, so he managed to escape his confined area and roamed free around the house for approximately, 11 hours!

What has he been doing in that period? Finding the best spots to play his toys apparently. Found a toy in the living room, Guest room, and study room. He stayed out of the Master Bedroom and toilets apparently. Best part, NO uaccidents! All urine and stool were properly left at his weepad! WOW! only two months and he has already learnt to go back to use his toilet. Not the area he was roaming free without supervision for over 11 hours is approximately, 1,300 sqf. That's big for a puppy his size. The maltese was not with him at this time, so this is 11 hours of solo exploration! tissues in the basket was not touched either! This is the first time I've easily trained a puppy this age and the outcome was phenominal!
Good Boy Venus :D

Cold night

been raining a lot lately, and winds are very chilly too. So someone got to learn to use a blanket :P
