Got Through the First Day!

Hello All!

Well, I got through my first afternoon and night with Bo. What a good, good boy he is!! I picked him up at 4:00 and he didn't make a peep or a whimper on the ride home. Of course he hates the collar and leash but other than that, he's been good as gold.

The breeder warned me that he might be too nervous to eat but he ate like a champ! No problem there. He pooped and peed outside although I must say he didn't poop for 2 hours after eating. He's got iron bowels :-)).

We went to bed at 11:00 and he went right in his crate. He whimpered for about 30 seconds and then fell asleep. He woke up at 1:00 and I took him out to pee and right back in the crate. He slept until 7:00 this morning!!

I have to say I am completely EXHAUSTED. It's like having a baby again but at 59, it's MUCH harder!!

He's also a big boy already. If I had to guess I'd say he's already 12 pounds. Doesn't sound like a lot except when you're lugging it around. The breeder had guessed he'd be about 40 pounds full grown. Me thinks he might be closer to 50 at this rate. We'll see....

He is a total love bug. Very cuddly and sweet. He follows me everywhere and doesn't want me out of his site. Almost tripped over him once but only once. Amazing how quickly you adapt.

I have tried posting pictures but every time I try to choose a photo from my photo library, my computer freezes up! I have tried it 4 times and there's something wrong. I've never had this problem before so I may have to have my tech guy at work take a look at it. I want so badly for you to see how he's grown and how dang cute he is, but until I figure out what's wrong, no can do.

Now, I'm going to take a little rest. Bo is sleeping in his crate and mommy is going to close her eyes too! I'll keep you posted......
