First Night...

[Adrienne]

My first night with Dougie was not bad...knock on wood!  I do not know if it was the long car ride, but he slept through the night, from 10:30 p.m. - 6:00 a.m.--Whoo hoo!!!!  Poor fella fell asleep on the central air vent, which seems to be his favorite place to snooze.  I also found out that he doesn't like ANY of the "comfy" crate blankets/pillows that I purchased for his crates.   I picked him up and put him in his crate--I camped out on the couch so that I could be close by if necessary.  He whimpered for a second.  I placed his "Snuggle Puppy" in with him and MAGIC...not another sound until 6 a.m.   Needless to say, I do not see an expensive dog bed in Dougie's future. Ditto for the toys.  I purchased a few new toys and his toy of preference is a "white hand towel".  

No accidents in the house yet.  However, I can not take credit for that.  I failed to take Dougie out after his morning nap and when I turned around to look for him, he was standing in the un-used "make-shift" litter box taking a potty break.  Pee on carpet averted, thanks to Dougie.  

Something tells me that he will have more energy today so I plan to be ready.  Here are a few more pics:

So many of you were talking about tag danger so I wanted to share with you what I just got for my dogs. Mine were often without collars because of tags getting caught.  I ordered these and have had them for several weeks now. I love them! I ordered brown, green, blue, and pink. Brown is my favorite.  Personalized Dog Collars

Love these...will have to order one for Dougie!
