Update - 8 days In

So all is well - and Soul has become very comfortable in our home and as a new member of our pack!

The potty training is going well - today he went to the door three times and whined to go out. Last night he made it through the night outside of his crate with no accidents!! A little while ago, as we sat on the deck and he was inside sleeping - he awoke and grabbed his leash and yipped at us to let him out! This pup is pure intelligence and I am thoroughly impressed!!

He is a little biter - working on it! We have broken him of chewing on our toes after he almost took off one of my little ones! He has also been broken of eating the cats food - so much so that he detours it to get to his food by going under the table and through the chairs! Oops - that might have been overkill!

He went to Marshall to visit his outlying pack this past weekend and wore himself out. Travel in the crate was a little trying - but after a few minutes - just like a baby who only is pacified in the car - he was out like a light.



He's found his little puppy bark this week - and has tried it out on some very strange things. Barked at Bri's bowl of macaroni, at his toy in the middle of the floor (as he looked at it like it was an alien), at the TV when a commercial for Zyrtec came on, and at the cat. Just little gruff barks - almost silent but he gets a big head each time he does it.

Soul had his first pontoon ride yesterday and loved it. We had to hold him back from jumping in though - he really is curious about the water and we deemed it too cold at the moment (not quite 50 degrees yet) for a swim!

It's been a good week and the pictures and vids keep coming! WE sooooooo love our little guy!!
