Settling In

 Boston had a rough first night but last night went better. He sleeps in a carrier next to the bed. Mackey has been sleeping beside the carrier so she can check on him and let me know if he needs me. He whimpered a couple times during the night but went right back to sleep. We're all feeling less sleep deprived today.

 

 

The living room looks like a puppy is in residence. There are toys scattered everywhere. His attention span is pretty short and he goes from one toy to another, then falls asleep to refresh his battery.

He really likes his dinner and has no trouble digging in. I'm feeding him in a crate so he learns to associate the crate with good things.  After he eats he usually naps for awhile. Yesterday he discovered the water bowl in the kitchen and makes numerous trips to drink. I expect to find him splashing in the bowl soon.

Today was his first vet visit and it went great. Dr B was taken with him and told me how happy he is for us. Boston checked out perfectly and didn't even complain about his vaccination. I asked Dr B if Boston's eyes would turn brown and after checking them out closely he said that they're green and probably will stay that color. How odd.

The big storm has put a damper on our house training because of the temperature but we'll get back to it soon. I think he's going to be pretty easy to train He likes to go outside to pee and look around.
