Description
A little day in the life with our 9 week old puppy...
Some observations....
1. When does it get easier? 😂 All l've done all week is
think about dogs, be with dogs, dream about dogs, google about dogs, buy things for dogs, panic about dogs, talk about dogs. I do remember it being so intense with Rolo in the beginning too and I think it's harder as we have two and at the moment need to monitor them constantly. But it's hard work. Good job he's cute. ☺️
2. When we had Rolo the kids were young and they said they'd help but they were little and didn't really help all that much after the initial excitement. Whereas with Spud they are all helping so much which is good. I do think they are perfect ages to get a puppy.
3. Crate training is going so badly. All the books and videos say leave the door open and entice him in with treats and toys but we can't leave the door open as Rolo just heads straight for them. As such it's just not going well. The amount of time I'm panicking I've left it too late and I'm making a rod for my own back is ridiculous. Is that even a thing with puppies? Probably.
4. He is the funniest little dog. I'm loving the breed- he's a whippet/italian greyhound cross and such a character already.
5. It's early days with our other dog Rolo. He wants to be friends I think, when he's quiet he will sit next to him on the sofa, but whenever Spud is awake and down on the floor he goes straight for Rolo to nip him. Rolo warns him by growing but he doesn't seem to listen, so we constantly have to separate them. It's a little bit tiring but I'm sure we'll get there when he stops being as nippy in like 2 years or something. 😂
