Tuck - 9 weeks

We've had Tuck for 1 week already! And he's now 9 weeks old. He's such a good little puppy. He's very affectionate and loves to play. He does have sharp little teeth, though! He doesn't bite to be mean, just play-biting, but we're trying to break him of that habit. That...and chewing on shoes! lol Luckily he is listening pretty well so far. We got him a small chewy ball and a small chewy pork chop shaped toy to play with. Distraction from the shoes is pretty easy with these new toys.

He does so well with house training. He's only gone in the house twice. Both times, he went on flooring that we will be replacing when we are ready to put our house up for sale (and we'll put in new carpet prior to showing) so that was great. Every time we take him outside, he goes within minutes of being put down. So he's doing great.

Another thing that amazes me is that he sleeps at night! He doesn't get up whining at all! Not once! I can't believe it! lol He's very content in his crate and doesn't make a peep!

I had him at the vet on Tuesday b/c in order to get the 1 yr guarantee from the breeder, we had to have him looked at w/in one week. He is doing great. No parasites or mites or anything that they look for when dogs are in close quarters (as they are with breeders or pet stores). He's very healthy. The vet did give him some medicine b/c his stool isn't 'normal' right now. He said it's probably from the transition from well water (where the breeder lives) and city water. And could also be nervousness and new environment as well. He is 2.2 pounds. A TINY little thing!! lol

We had him outside today while the kids were playing the pool, so I decided to take a couple pictures.
