Weighing in at 105 pounds, please allow me to introduce to you Butters, AKA Butterscotch, Buddy, Butterball, Professor Chaos. Butters is a healthy, happy, charming, goofy one-and-a-half-year old purebred Labrador Retreaver with a little black spot on his butt. We adopted Butters on Friday, and got him to the vet on Saturday. He’s now up to date with all of his vaccines. He’s still intact. So we also made an appointment to get him neutered in a couple weeks. He slept in his crate the first couple of nights, but we’re not really that into using crates with our dogs. So we will eventually remove it if he doesnt use it, and so far it seems like he won’t mind. At 1.5 years old, he still acts a bit like a puppy. He’s not trained very well, but he’s smart and eager to please. So I’m hopeful it will get easier to get him to comply with my wishes over time. We’re not letting him on the furniture yet to prevent him from guarding behaviors. At some point, he’ll be allowed almost everywhere in the house, but not yet. He’s already tried sitting on the couch a few times. Today I had to slide him off, all 105 pounds of him. He didn’t help me one bit. I still love him anyway.
