Ajax Turns 9 Months

He is growing so fast, but yet he is such a puppy.   Small breed puppies get away with so much at 9 months, but people expect so much more from medium and large breed puppies.    Ajax turned 9 months on April 28th and he is still so much like he was at 4 months.  All that has changed is his look.

 But speaking of his look, this puppy seems to change colour almost everyday. Sometimes he looks like a different pup every day too!

Some days he seems blonde, and some days red, and other days tan.   It's not just lighting.  It's quite odd.

It was a big deal this weekend for Ajax - because he lifted his leg to pee for the first time, finally, at 9 months.  He's only done it twice since, but its a start.  Chris was quite pleased about it!!

 To celebrate - we went for a swim.  Ajax loves the water, and the beaches are all dog friendly until May 15th, so we try to go every evening now so he can get his fill.   Its so beautiful at the beach when the sun is setting.  I caught this photo of Ajax and a heron the other night. I just love the picture.  He is so photogenic!
