Day 39. A quiet wet Saturday at home. I played with teenagers, watched a hailstorm and got two new balls with ‘prey-like squeaking sounds’. They’re lots of fun! #pupdate #selkie

Day 38. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 中秋節快樂! Here’s me chasing my tail, doing my best impression of a big round full moon! 🌝🐰🥮 #pupdate #selkie

Day 37. As I get bigger there’s lots of things I can do that I couldn’t before. But I guess the opposite is also true – soon I won’t be able to squeeze through the gap between these plant pots! #pupdate #selkie

Day 36. A visit to Dr Raj this morning for my final puppy vaccinations. I’m getting to be a big puppy – 11kg – and got a pig ear to take home with me. Yum! #pupdate #selkie

Day 35. Sometimes it can be hard to get a good photo of me, especially when I’m a bit excited. Here’s me trying to get kibble out of an empty tissue box. #pupdate #selkie

Day 34. Kate has tidied her study so today I got to hang out with her there. Turns out I quite like this armchair! #pupdate #selkie

Day 33. The hottest day of my life so far – 27.7°C in Hobart in September! I enjoyed catching drips from the watering and napping on the cool tiles of the fireplace hearth. #pupdate #selkie

Day 32. I’m 3 months old today! It was a glorious spring day in Hobart so I spent the morning in the garden. I ran through the long grass, ate pademelon poo and took a dip in the pond. #pupdate #selkie

Saw the doggy ophthalmologist, got the all clear, and gonna put a "[blank] days since last eye injury" sign on the wall with her picture on it. And maybe sell some plasma. #Pupdate

Day 31. All tired out after a busy week. #pupdate #selkie

Day 30. My humans went to the theatre tonight, but I stayed home and watched Desperate Housewives with one of my teenage friends. #pupdate #selkie

Day 29. Now I’m a big puppy my humans have given me a lovely plaid collar and a tag with my name, ‘Selkie’. #pupdate #selkie

Day 27. Being a puppy is not all fun and games, you know. Quite often I find myself in gaol. Yes, gaol! Apparently the humans don’t like to share their food or have cups of tea knocked over or whatever. #pupdate #selkie

Day 27. Look at my lovely tail! And my delightful chonky haunches! I’m getting quite big but still have puppy squishiness. #pupdate #selkie

Day 26. Shiny and black, that’s what my fur is. On my head and ears it’s soft and a bit fluffy. On my back it’s a bit wavy! #pupdate #selkie
