This one is named Journey, and he’s an eight-week-old stud puppy who will eventually, if all things go well, be bred to my landlady’s three female dogs. For now, his job is to grow up and learn, and keep being cute, and try to stay out of trouble.
Poor kiddo. It was his first night away from his siblings, in a strange new place, and he was borking all night. He should be fine in a couple of days, though.
Yes, this is a blatant hijack. Just a quick update about Scout, my new doberman puppy. After a week, he’s settling in very well - will quietly lay on the bed with the other dogs, sits and downs on command (most of the time). Recall is good. He has his moments where he annoys the adult dogs, but for the most part, things are settling down. Has chewed on a few things he shouldn’t, but if I watch him, he’s easily diverted. If the big dogs run out to bark at something, he joins the pack. He’s still under close observation, but I’m not as worried about him.
My landlady is back and finds sitting down to be very difficult, but by all lights the surgery went very well, and hopefully she’ll make a full recovery. Thank you, @carnut .
