Dustin comes home and makes Fenway a big sister!

[Kelli, Fenway, & Dustin Pedroia]

Well we brought the new baby boy home today and it has been very interesting to say the least. First of all let me just say that Dustin is cute as a button and fat as a manatee! He has got to be the biggest puppy ever! When we got home we took him straight to his designated potty spot while my DH went to get our baby girl. We then went to a neutral spot and let them meet. Fenway was super duper excited so we kept her on a leash and did not let her go free. We let them sniff each other, but Fenway was way too excited so we decided to bring them back up to our condo to see how they would do up there. Fenway calmed down and they were able to greet each other and sniff a little bit. Well Fenway is very "pawsy" when she plays and so she felt that Dustin wanted to be pawed. He didn't and even though he's a big boy, Fenway is still much bigger than him so we really have had to watch her very closely all night and will have to continue to watch her until he gets a bit bigger. She is not very gentle at all with him and this is probably our fault because she's only ever had bigger dogs to play with. She had calmed down a lot by the end of the evening and was playing with him rather well, but we'll just have to see. She's not really too sure what to think about him yet, but we'll give her a few days and see how she feels. I hope they'll be best buds! Here's a picture of Dustin and there are more on my page for anyone interested.

What a cute puppy

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

He's a Budda puppy! :-) What a doll... I encourage you to keep blogging about the Dustin/Fenway relationship, because you'll look back on your stories and smile. It won't be long before Dustin is pushing Fenway around, especially if he keeps growing at that rate!

He is just over 7weeks and weighs a wopping 8lbs! He's a big boy, but surprising agile. The breeder let me have him before he quite turned 8 weeks so that I could work on his routine over my spring break. I hope it helps. He's an F1 standard goldendoodle and both of his parents are right at 50lbs. He's one of three so Mom had a lot of milk and Dustin took advantage. He LOVES food and already knows which cabinet we keep it in. Smart and food motivated. Hmmm this could be a good thing for training! Anyway, he's been great fun. We're still trying to convince Fenway to play gently. Not an easy thing for a pup that plays with her paws up in the air jumping around. She has no idea how big she is. He does sleep in a crate at night and any little peep out of him and Fenway is right by his side checking on him. I've tried to explain to her that we need to ignore this behavior or he'll keep doing it, but I guess it's her Mommy instinct coming out. I'll keep everybody up-dated on the progress!

He's a cutie!! How old is he and how much does he weigh??? I remember being very concerned that Lucy was being too rough with Rusty - but it worked out fine and everyone lived to bark about it! LOL I did put Rusty in his box (crate) at night and left the door open so he could run in it to get away from Lucy when she got too rough. Your Dustin will find his "hidey hole" spots too... under the bed.. under a chair... between your legs.. LOL puppies are so fun. I'm excited for your new addition!
