Our first week with 2 dogs

I would like to start by saying that I thought this was going to be WAY harder! Don't get me wrong - a puppy is a ton of work, but I had heard some horror stories about the awfulness of puppies. Maybe we just got a super good one?

Yes he chews on, well . . .everything, but it really is getting better and nothing has been destroyed (he is in big trouble if he goes near my new running shoes!) He has many accidents inside while we train him, but that is also getting better. After only a week? I am very proud!

He and Remi are doing 100% better and I think they are starting to realize that the other one isn't going anywhere. The only thing they fight over is bones. There are 2 bones and 2 dogs, so you would think that would be the end of it - but one of them always wants the other one, then they growl, then we separate them. I still think they will be friends soon.
This picture makes me believe that the friend thing will be sooner then later (awwwww!)
Monday of last week we didn't have a puppy sitter for Lincoln, we aren't comfortable with him being in the kennel with Remi yet, and he can't go that long without needing to go potty (many training articles said "potty" is the best word to use with puppies)

so . . . . . . .. He got to be an honorary Amsource Employee! He agrees that the market is hard right now, but he still enjoyed the work.


Yeah - the people at my office didn't mind that he was there either . . .. . .
And here is a video that makes me laugh every time. Is he scared? Is he fighting it? I guess he is just a puppy!!

Oh he is getting so big! I wanted to see him while he was still tiny! Oh well! We are potty training Nick too! Do you have any pointers for us?

He is very cute! I don't think Lucas will ever let us get a dog. I guess we'll just have to come visit you guys a lot!
