R-litter - 8 weeks old
Raphaello is now 8 weeks old, and has had a busy week!
He has been ID-tagged and vaccinated – and little Raphaello took it all in stride! The veterinary clinic was thoroughly examined and he enjoyed meeting both staff and other visitors to the clinic.

Raphaello has also been on short trips when shopping has been needed. Here he is exploring a parking area where he could say hallo to some new people.
Until now, Raphaello has only met our own dogs – including those at grandma’s, so the time has come to also show Raphaello that the world is inhabited by many other kinds of dogs. Big and small – short and long fur – short and long noses. So we went to ring craft/training – not to train, but just to meet other, friendly dogs. Raphaello didn't last the whole class, but fell asleep in our arms with the soft sound of dog barking in the background :-)

The weather has also been mild this week for the time of year, and Raphaello has enjoyed the outdoors.
Here he is with his mother, grandmother and great-grandmother - 4 generations enjoying the garden:
And here we are practicing walking with a collar and leash:
But he is definitely also active when we are indoors - here he is having fun with his mother Paloma on the bouncy pillow:

We have also started to introduce him to the activity ball - and he has quickly become really good at it!
Although Raphaello certainly enjoys experiencing all the new things, the best thing is still to cuddle with his mother when he is tired
