Kim has skipped the thoughts about a carreer in plumbing, and gone over to home decorating instead! Since all puppies chew on everything, we temporary have a paper box for Kim, on which he puts all energy in rebuilding - with his teeth ofcourse! The pieces of paper that he torn away, he carries to the water bowl, then he just stands there "fishing" ;-)

He also likes to help mom with the household, to chase the vacuum cleaner is a thrill. Besides that he also finds helping out with the laundry very amusing. Well, helping and helping, mom is hanging the laundry up, Kim is pulling it down :-) At my parents the dishwasher is standing on the floor. What a waste using a machine says Kim, when you have a tounge to clean with! Ofcourse he gets all the help he needs from the poodles and the Foxterrier Dixie...

Tonight, on his 11-weeks birthday, there has been full activity for little puppy. He ran around playing and slipped on the floor and crashed into the bookshelf. Poor Kim yelled and probably got a shock, because after that incident he was totally still for 3 hours till I came home from work. Then he was limping around on three legs...

Both Roger and I tried to feel and squeeze, bend and stretch (we are customed to that by now after Tintins longtime limping), but none of us could find something wrong. Kim didn't react at all. The day after we went to see the vet, who established the fact that there was nothing wrong with Kims legs, but he had a sore spot in the shoulder blade. So now he has to rest and take it easy.

Four days later, Kim is back to his old self again!
