Puppy Update - one week check in!

Leo has been with us for almost a whole week, though he has wormed his way into our hearts much deeper than that and that is a good thing. And he has bonded very much with us too. He cries if he wakes up on his bed and we have left the room. He comes when we call him and he already knows how to sit. He loves to be carried around and snuggle close.

And I thought I remembered, but I guess you block it out. Puppies are a pain in the patootie! The housebreaking is not the problem, it is the chewing Craig is just now realizing this too. Fortunately, Leo starts puppy classes in the middle of July. It will be much easier when he has more of his shots and we can really start socializing him with other dogs.

Chloe usually loves him, though their relationship is off to somewhat of a rocky start, from Chloe's standpoint anyway.

Leo loves Chloe. She has long flowing hair that is fun to grab. She will squeal and run when he does something she doesn't like. She is fun to chase. And what Chloe has to show for it is a long scratch on her neck and arm. But she is learning. She is learning to grab his color and say "No, Leo". And through all this her pronunciation of the letter "L" has skyrocketed. Though I will miss her calling our friend Liza "Yiza".
