Hi all
This week has been Smudge's first time 'home alone' as Chris and I returned to work following a two week holiday with him.
What can I say but how brilliant he has been! We got home for lunch on the first day, nervous of what we would find, but there were no little wet patches (or anything else!) - he just went outside as soon as we got home and relieved himself.
Tonight he went to the vets for his final injections and also his 'Indentichip'. He didn't seem to notice the injections at all, though of course the vet bribed him with vitamin sweets again!
My parents came to visit at the weekend, which he loved! He's such a show off! And this weekend, Chris' parents arrive - none of them are coming to see us of course!
He is teething/mouthing a lot at the moment, but then that is to be expected, and whilst it's quite prevalent, we're trying to cope with this as best we can using the advice we have found here and in our current 'bible' - The Perfect Puppy.
He's also sleeping now for about 6 hours - fantastic for us as we were knackered after the first 10 days or so!
Smudge is totally and utterly the biggest part of our lives at the mo - and we couldn't be happier! He's so scrummy!
All the best,
Nicola.
