Thanks everyone! We do love him! Those big ears of his both shot up over night at 8 weeks. They are so ridiculously adorable. He has a lot of growing to do that's for sure! :)

Not sure if he's sitting by the oven because it is warm or because he's waiting for the Shepherd's Pie to come out!

I've found that Titan extremely sensitive to temperature, he often camps in front of our oven when it's cold. It can get insanely hot here too, at those times he looks for the coolest place to hang out and then bombs out there. I suspect it may be a temperature thing. Has your baby started chatting yet?

Only when he's screaming for his meals! :P No he doesn't chat much yet...not even barks or growls yet. Which is okay in my books. Is a big whiner though. We're working on that but it is quite hard to ignore the screaming. Poor neighbors probably think we are beating him! :P Screams like he's dying 1 hr before meal times. Especially breakfast.
His motivation for anything is definitely food oriented. Could care less about his toys. <3 Love him to bits though.

Yeah also...I live in Sao Paulo, Brasil... so it doesn't get TOO cold...at the extreme lowest during winter its 5c/41f deg. Its winter now and its 20c/68f outside. Summer will probably be more of a challenge for him. I'll have to buy him a swimming pool to chill out in and some sunscreen for his pink little nose!

The chatter is the weirdest and cutest thing you could imagine. I live in Zululand in South Africa, the lowest we've had here in winter time was about 10c, in summer it isn't unheard of to hit 38/39c plus 10c for humidity. However I've noticed Titan still gets cold when the temperature differences are quite big. If I may give one piece of advice, invest in a decent pet sunscreen. Both our babies are white and they overheat quickly and burn even faster. Titan isn't too big on the swimming pool, but he loves swimming in the sea.

Ahh good to hear that they can survive in hot climates too! Yes sunscreen is a must! Thanks for your tips. :)
So far Buster isn't a big fan of his baths so we'll have to see how he like the pool come summertime. You never know. When they're free to make their own decisions its always a different story!

Surprisingly Titan loves his baths, I'm not sure if it was because I used to keep my husband company while he bathed when Titan was still little (we couldn't leave him outside while we were in the bathroom chatting). He always wanted into the bath when someone was in it. We've moved in the meantime to a property that has only a shower (blegh) and he loves that too. The first time we tried him in the shower was after a visit to the beach, I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

You never know, Buster might enjoy it if one of you go into the pool with him. I've found that they'll try just about anything as long as they can be with their humans ;)
