Batman sleeping on a rainy day

This weekend was still rainy therefore batman has not been able to get much exercise. I also was looking after Rusko my friends puppy and Batman's best friend. So it was hard to organize my schedule to make sure Batman and Rusko were walked and fed though out the day. The first day I took care of Rusko there was a time in which it wasn't raining so I got Batman and Rusko together to play. Although, after playing they got muddy and smelt bad.

This week is expected to be sunny and beautiful so I will be making sure Batman is able to run around outside. Also, Batman will be spending this coming weekend with my sister and her great dane, Zeus. they have spent a good amount of time together so they should be fine for the weekend and Batman is going to love seeing Zeus.

This weekend I was away for all of Saturday and Sunday, therefore Batman started acting up and always trying to get attention and wanting to play. Times such as this when Batman has not been able to be off his leash and run around with other dogs he tends to get in a mood. Luckily it wasn't raining on monday and he was able to run around with his good friend, Rusko. Althoughit has been raining today and yesterday, and predicted to tomorrow as well. So I am starting to see Batman getting irritated that he has to be inside all day.

I was able to clam him down for a
picture after his bath

Yesterday I gave Batman a bath. It was long overdue and now he is soft and smell much better. Although, I feel bad giving baths to him he doesn't like them and puts his tail between his legs and seems very nervous. Therefore I try and give him quick baths and dry him off as fast as possible. After his bath and I let him out of the bathroom he goes crazy and runs around my entire place, doing laps in and out of every room.

Batman has been very good, he has gotten a lot of exercise and socialization with other dogs. Yesterday was beautiful and sunny out,  Batman was able to play with five other dogs, including his good friends Rusko and Milo. As well as, other dogs that live in the area, who are Bear, Sasha, and Marley. Batman had a great time and always love to see friends and meet new ones. He especially likes bear, who is a year and a half old black lab.


Now that the weather is heating up and the sun is out, Batman gets very tired easily. Batman's black coat absorbs a lot of sunlight and gets him very tired, which is nice because he gets even more tired and will sleep in longer the next morning. This morning i woke up at 12 and was surprised to wake up and see Batman asleep at the foot of my bed. Usually Batman wakes up around 8a.m and will cry and beg for me to wake up, as well as trying to take my blankets off of me.

I have come to realize that I have been slacking in teaching Batman new commands and tricks. I still practice the commands he knows when giving him food and treats, but he has gotten very good at them and now needs a challenge. Therefore, for the next week my goal is to tech Batman new commands/tricks, such as rollover and learning to fetch.
