A Skeleton With a Wagging Tail Answered the Door
Bones are printed in white across the front of a black sweater, and inside it sits a black and tan Rottweiler puppy with alert eyes and ears pointing slightly out. He waits in a mudroom entry with a coat rack, a canvas bag, a plaid jacket and a small bench with pumpkins on it. The door stands open to a golden evening. He looks like a very small, very sweet skeleton who is waiting for company.
Rottweiler puppies grow quickly and need good nutrition, steady training and plenty of rest. Because they are strong dogs, learning to walk nicely on a leash while still small makes life easier later. Chewing is normal for puppies, so offering safe chew toys helps protect shoes and furniture. A warm sweater is fine for a short time, but make sure it fits well and does not restrict his legs, and take it off when he is playing hard. Your vet can recommend the best plan for your puppy's growth.
Skeleton outfits are a favorite because they are simple and they show off a dog's black coat. The look is spooky, but the puppy's gentle expression takes all the fear out of it. He is ready for visitors and will probably greet each one with a wagging tail and a lot of wiggles, then trot off to find a chew toy.
