Barkley is HOME :) Third Night Update on page 6

OMD no one told me how quickly I would fall head over heals for my new puppy. We love him like crazy :) He did amazing on the hour car ride home- slept half the time, whined a tiny bit, gazed happily out the window. Once getting home he went potty outside, then explored the house. Within fifteen minutes we gave him some food, and he ate about half. Played a little, back outside, potty again (WAHOO), repeat.

He is already going up and down stairs (three steps off our porch)- should I be worried? He seems so young to do that. He was hesitant when we went outside, and I was about to pick him up to carry him down but, he did it on his own.

He hates his leash- likes to bite it constantly when outside. I just take it out of his mouth and redirect him. Hopefully he will start to ignore it soon

He loves to be around people, especially my 5 yr old- if Jackson is out of Barkley's sight he whines for him.

Enough of that- here are a few pics. I'll be back for more if I get time to breathe :)

Completely sleeping on Jackson. "Mom, can you move him a bit, I want to get up." Ten minutes later... "Mooooooooooooooom, I need to get up"
