Eight Months Old

JT is eight months old!
This week we got to visit Grandma Keene at her office. All the ladies were excited to see JT, and he even got a free toothbrush (notice how much he loves it already).

This week we got to take the boat out a couple of times. It was so sunny and beautiful! JT left his sunglasses on for much longer this trip. Maybe he finally sees the benefit. 🙂 Of course, he wears his life vest in the boat. This picture was taken while we were waiting to put in.

Now that JT can roll to get to what he wants, poor Slider has to stay on her toes. No longer does she have the luxury of choosing when she wants to be near him and when she wants to be left alone. One minute, you’re relaxing next to him and the next, your ear is getting pulled. (Or your tail… or your belly fur…)

You’ll notice that Slider’s expression is exactly the same in both pictures. While we are thrilled with this docile behavior, we monitor it carefully… and we are already teaching JT to be gentle, and telling Slider she can get up and move if she wants.

Beautiful weather this week. Oh, but did I mention, it snowed? Several days in a row? Spring in western Washington has been nothing but crazy this year. Here we are taking Slider for a romp in the park, during a sunshine break.

This week’s Flip Clip isn’t any new exciting skill, because the clip of him trying to eat bits of avocado off his tray involves several instances of gagging, and who wants to see that? 🙂
