Leo has had a big day today, he met a baby for the first time. I was a bit worried about them meeting because I was afraid that Leo would start nipping (playing of course) the baby, but was very surprised when he didn't do anything. He was being very gentle and patient. The baby is around 1 so he can walk and tried to pat Leo a few times; I made sure that neither the baby nor Leo came to any harm. Leo was actually afraid of the baby at first, wasn't quite sure and kept his distance. However the baby wanted to play and Leo got used to him and they both started to play, Leo was very gentle and didn't nip or anything, he would just jumped around and was being very silly, which is what we love about him.
Leo is very clever. I tried to teach him sit just once by getting a treat and holding it above his nose. I said sit and from that one particular time he knew it! I have no clue how he learnt it just from one time. He already knows sit, down, roll over and high five. I wasn't planing on teaching him this so early, but if you do it once or twice he knows it! I also wasn't planning on teaching him high five, but he gives you his paw anyway so I thought I might as well. I really just wanted to see if he will sit by himself with you not touching him (just guiding him with a treat) or if you have to move him in the position. I have never come across a puppy that gets things so quickly.
He was very playful today he ran up and down the garden, he would chase you, and jump everywhere. Very Funny.
In the pictures you can see him on Leo's BIG day, if you look at the last picture it looks like he is smiling in his sleep!
