quick hello and update on us! :)

[Jenn Suchniak]

hello! long time no post, it's been chaotic around here!  i wanted to say thank you again for all your help when i was in the midst of the new puppy madness!  things are looking up!

our little guy appa is giardia free, finally!  and i've left him home for 3-3.5 hours 3 or 4 times now, and no more coming home to a mess!  he's completely (bell) house trained, sleeping through the night, and can follow a couple commands (out (drop what's in his mouth), sit) ... have to work on those more!.  

we just moved into our washington "forever" house (which is only 3 years navy time, lol) a week ago.  we are mostly unpacked, and getting settled in.  my dh got promoted at work a month ago and has been going through an induction similar to bootcamp+joinging a frat.  it's been CRAZY.  we have two weeks left until he is pinned (15 days, actually), and then we're looking forward to starting some puppy classes for socialization!  

we are having a little trouble with him being jumpy/bite-y with my little ones that we're trying to work on.  and walking on a leash - OH boy.  hopefully that dies down soon!

here are a couple of fun pictures!  the first is the day we got him.  he was 7.5w and today at 12w.

this one is 9 weeks vs 12 weeks.  he's growing like a weed!  :)

thanks again!

Appa is just so cute. Enjoy your new home and before you know it Appa will be a "big" dog without the puppy problems.

Hi Laurie, I am about as far away from you as you can get but my little one will be two weeks old on Saturday.  I also am so excited but she is better off with her Momma now.  Our time will come.

Appa!  You are one handsome dood and are growing like a giant.  :)   So happy that you are feeling better.  Can't wait to see more pics of you as you continue to grow.  I imagine that soon, you will have your own bedroom.

Absolutely adorable!  I agree with Lucy and Sophie's mom, the growth shots are really cool.  Keep  'em, coming.
