Puppy Update
He-who-has-no-name is doing well.
Better than me.
We went to the vet yesterday. Doc verified him to be all of 7 weeks old and 9 whole pounds. He also said I looked a little sleep deprived.

Better than me.
We went to the vet yesterday. Doc verified him to be all of 7 weeks old and 9 whole pounds. He also said I looked a little sleep deprived.He's lucky I didn't deck him. I do that when I'm sleep deprived.
It's getting better though. Puppy is yowling less and I am sleeping more.
Ahh, the tender moments of crate training.
I think we did the right thing adopting he-who-has-no-name even though we are awaiting adoption approval for the adult female. My only regret is that three was my limit for dogs. Greg is all for getting a fourth (my Aussie) but I think three is enough for now. I can't afford to lose any more sleep.
Traits I have noticed:
• He is fearless for a little guy.
• But likes to know me or Tank are nearby--just in case.
.
• His appetite is enormous
• And he is not fussy about what bug or plant he puts on the menu
.
• He has the sweetest temperament
• But doesn't approve of his bedtime hour.
.I really didn't want this puppy. But I'm glad we saved him.

Puppy Patrol is a 24 hour job.
And yay! congratulations on he-who-has-no-name joining your family :-) He's a cutie!
asenyart: Thanks! I can tell right now this blog (not to mention the rest of my writing) is going to suffer for a while.
And you're a marshmallow when it comes to dogs.
Greg and I are at odds for a name. I'm not happy with his choices and he doesn't like mine.
We might have to call him "Hey You".
But in a few months all this will be a faint memory.
I should take more pictures to remind me how little he once was.
We're going on a long trip tomorrow. We'll see how much hair I have left by the time I get back.
