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:

Oh my gosh Adrienne -- he's beautiful and that is too cute that he took Snuggle Puppy to the vent.  Glad the first night went so well.   These pictures are adorable so I see nothing wrong with your picture taking skills :)

OMD! Dougie is as cute as can be. Your photos are wonderful! Thank you. Keep them coming.

Dougie is adorable!  Sounds like he's doing well so far- I'm jealous of all of that sleep you were able to get after the first night... my new guy only gives me about 5 hours.  Enjoy him!!

He is so precious!  So glad he is finally home with you!

Dougie is a total doll. I think sleeping beside him on the couch is the right thing to do. Awesome that he slept through the night!

How about an update on Dougie? 

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

i missed this when you first posted.  Dougie is adorable - hope he is still doing well :)

[Adrienne]

Thanks Allyson.  He is still doing well and has discovered the stairs, OMG.  He is a ball of energy and very curious.  However, he loves to get his beauty sleep...he will curl up on the air vent and sleep for 2-3 hrs straight, LOL.
