This is Ace! He was born March 3rd which makes him about six and half weeks old. Isn't he a cutie? Friday afternoon we went to see a litter of german shepherd puppies. There were 6 of them; 4 females and 2 males. Jeff really wanted a boy. We ended up picking this one over his brother because Ace was more tan and the other one looked more white. Jeff really wanted the classic german shepherd look. We went straight to Petsmart after we left the breeder's house to get him a bed, bowls, and such. Everyone in there wanted to hold him! Poor baby didn't know what was going on...he had just left his mommy and he looked so sad. I think he was really upset and stressed out because he ending up throwing up in the jeep. Once we got him home, we introduced him to Pennie out in the backyard. Pennie was so excited she couldn't control herself. She kept barreling into him, trying to get him to play. I don't think she realizes how little he is, LOL. The first night Jeff wanted to try to keep him in our room with some puppy pads on the floor. I was hesitant and wanted to pen him up in the bathroom or laundry room where there is no carpet. Well, sure enough, sleeping in our room didn't work! He missed the puppy pads twice even though Jeff and I had taken him outside throughout the night. At around 4 in the morning I convinced Jeff to put him in the laundry room and that is where he will stay until he can get the hang of this potty training thing. Also, he is a complete crybaby...I'm sure he will grow out of that though. He always wants to be near you and would prefer to be held. He hates his collar and he doesn't know how to go up and down the stairs yet. He doesn't use his bed we bought him so Pennie has decided it is hers and he chews on everything. I am trying to talk Jeff into letting me take him to puppy classes when he is a little older, but he isn't so keen on the idea. But it's only day 2 and he's such a cutie pie, how can I be mad at him?
I dunno how I got so lucky with my husky Sasha, the first night she
ReplyDeleteslept in our bed all night without crying waking up or peeing! We put Sasha in puppy classes in petsmart and it really helped. It taughted her to ring a bell on the wall her height when she needed to go outside!!! Def worth it! Happy you finally got ur puppy!! Congrats!
I really want to take him to puppy classes but Jeff is so stubborn. He thinks he can train him on his own. I just don't get how he can't see all the benfits of taking him. But Ace is already so much better with the potty training and it hasn't even been a full week yet. He is starting to hold it through the night and for the first time he whined at the back door to go out so hopefully he will get the hang of it soon!
