It's been a crazy six months but we've documented it all on camera.
Hans lost his baby teeth, gained 30 pounds, graduated from training school, experienced his first Spring & Summer, and began showing more of his poodle - to say the least!
He's still the most loving and friendly pup in town.
Since the last post, Hans has received all of his shots from the vet and currently weighs-in at 36 pounds! After a bath a few weeks ago, his hair completely unleashed. It's now long and wavy - sticking out in every direction. His poodle is catching up with his lab.
Two weeks ago, Hans traveled to Ohio to help Mom & Dad with wedding plans and met his Grammy & Grandpa. He was a wonderful house guest and loved Cincinnati! He even played the piano! He can't wait to meet Grandma from KC!
Yesterday Dad took Hans to the vet. He received two shots and gained 5 lbs since his last visit three weeks ago. He now weighs 19 lbs and Dr. Anderson predicts he will grow to be around 85 lbs! Hans has been getting hiccups every few days (super cute) and Dr. Anderson said they're very common for puppies. He loved visiting with all the girls at the front desk and will see them again in a month.

Hans loved spending yesterday outside in the backyard, at the park, and on walks. He is a curious pup and brings Mom & Dad gifts of leaves and wood chips from his finds.
Paroling the grounds.

He got one! Hans with his favorite snack - a leaf.
Yesterday Hans took his first trip to Petsmart. While shopping for a doggie toothbrush and chicken-flavored toothpaste, we decided to let Hans pick out his new play toy. Although he already has a handful of toys, none seem to be the "the one". We think he finally found it - a big, pink piggy. She even "oinks".
Hans is a vivacious, chocolate labradoodle puppy living in Annapolis, Maryland. He joined us in January 2009 and has brought so much joy into our lives. We are excited to share his growth & adventures with you.
