The first week

We are one week in with Duncan and it has been a challenge for sure. He is a barrel of energy and then falls out asleep. He is doing very well with the kennel now and sleeps almost all night. House training is going well also, as long as you do not take your eyes off of him. Which leads me to Emerson. She has decided that I love Duncan more than her. She had a complete meltdown a few days ago over this. Good thing she does not have a sibling! We clearly did not prepare her for what life would be like with a puppy until it is house and kennel trained. It also does not help that she wants to play with him so bad and all this teething monster wants to do is chew, nip and bite his way around the house and yard. There are no more flowers in any of the potted plants outside. He has torn them all of and they are scattered around the yard in various stages of dismemberment.
He took a trip to visit Aunt Mel at Hannan & Company last week before his vet appointment. He made himself right at home.
Here's to hoping the puppy stage goes by fast!

It's so hard to be upset at a face like that!
