Today, Sunday, my baby Boone turned 11 weeks old :) His right ear is completely up, as of almost 2 weeks ago, but his left ear still hangs sort of up and sort of sideways. He's really turning out to be a great dog. We're so very pleased with him. He has a fabulous little personality and he's a lot of fun. He's really mellow for a GSD, which we were hoping for. Both parents had low-drive temperments so we are so glad he's on the mellow side.
Boone and Kersey have bonded very strong. Graham still isn't fond of him, but he has tolerated him very well from day 1. I'll post pictures of Boones mom and dad when the breeder emails them to me.
He's getting so big. We can't hold him under one arm like we could for the first week. He's a 2 arm holder now, and even that is getting hard :) He's really getting so big!
He sits at the back door to 'ask' to go out, but if we're not watching him, he'll find someplace to pee, so I just hooked up some jingle bells from the back door so we're teaching all the dogs to ring the bells with his nose when they needs to go outside now. Hopefully he'll pick it up soon so he has a way to allert us now.
He starts his obedience in a couple weeks. The trainer is a very cool German guy who has a degree in animal behavior. He not only trains obedience, but he also trains Shutzhund, personal protection, agility, tracking and flyball. We're thinking about personal protection training for Boone once we get obedience down if he has the right temperment for it.
So here are the latest pictures of my bundle of fluff. Enjoy :)
Test...I really don't know how to change image size. I'm really hoping these aren't too big. I suppose I'll find out in a moment. If they are too big, please tell me how to resize them. Do I do it from photobucket or my original photos?
Graham, Kersey and Boone:

Kersey & Boone playing what I call "raa raa", which is what it sounds like when they play...raahhh raaahhh. When I say, 'go play raa raa' they start playing.

A picture of those ears that so badly want to stand up :) The right one gets the idea, but the left one is a little slower to catch on:
