Growing Like a Weed

Hello all!  Nothing too new on the Jeremy & Sara front, but just an update on our little guy.   As usual, Diesel is growing faster than ever imaginable and he's tipping the scale at 48lbs.

10 weeks old and 16 weeks old.

Also, he's discovered a new talent of tearing up toys left and right.  This past Saturday, Jeremy and I went to buy Diesel a few new toys because he ate through  three old ones in one day.  So far his total stats of toys  destroyed is: 3 tennis balls, 1 fuzzy  squeaker, 1 rubber tire and 1 stuffed puppy.  When we went Petsmart to get new toys, we immediately went looking for the stronger and bigger toys.  We ended up getting him a new tire (which is HUGE, but it says it's for dogs 50lbs+) and a big, fuzzy and squeaky camel.  The toys are huge when you compare them to his old ones (see pics below), but I'm sad to say that within 45 minutes of us giving Diesel the camel...he was pulling stuffing out of it.  I've stitched it up twice already, but I think the camel is going to be joining the list of deceased toys soon.  UGH!  Jeremy is currently looking up "indestructible dog toys" online.

Oh well, at least he likes the new toys.

Good luck on the chewing! We had to put wire around our trees because Zoe decided that she needed to chew on them instead of all the chew bones we bought. And our dog is half the size of yours! :) Puppies...so cute, but so destructive!!!! Good luck...I hope yours is better than ours!
