After years of yearning for a puppy, my dream became a reality when we found Dexter. His one bight blue eye and floppy ears melted my heart. We picked him up on Sunday, September 19th at 12:45pm and I was greeted with wet kisses and snuggles! He slept the entire way home and I couldn't have been happier; our little family all in the new toyota truck together, beginning a new chapter of our lives that was sure to be both amazing and trying.
Night 1: Dexter put himself to bed in his crate after a long day... crate training? Check.
Day 2: Dexter poops outside... we both gag... potty training headed in the right direction... Check.
Day 3. Dexter learns to sit!! Check.
Day 4: Dexter learns how to walk up stairs!! Check.
Day 5: Dexter meets the vet!! All went well minus the mouth opening. He was a healthy 20.5 lbs. Gaining a pound a day? Check.
Day 6: Dexter met multiple different people outside the TJ's. Beginning socialization... Check..
Day 7: Dexter had his first outdoor dining experience at Milk & Honey. Good Manners and more socialization... Check.
Day 8: Dexter goes on a boat!! Check!
Day 9: Dexter pees in his crate because in his sleep deprived state Patrick told Dexter to go back to bed in the middle of the night. Crate training... Uncheck.
There have been lots of ups and downs in the last week, but our little man has been a joy to have around most of the time and we are so happy to have him as apart of our family! We will continue to update you on his progress!
