House Training

So Jinx has been a average to maybe above average puppy at his house breaking skills. Typically he will do all his business outside if we watch him very closely, utilize the crate, and go outside preemptively every 2 hours or so. Today he actually whined at the door for the first time!

He's now over 22 pounds! Keeping up with Luna fairly well and going on regular walks in the neighborhood.

Jinx still has quite the limp in his right front leg. I took another couple of radiographs to see how the fracture was healing - and it looks great! Unfortunately, one of his growth plates appears abnormal. He is also painful if that area is pressed on firmly. I'm suspecting hypertrophic osteodystrophy, but would like to discuss this with the surgeon who took care of his fracture... he just wanted one more medical issue to be added to his list!
