There won’t be much activity on the blog tomorrow, as I am spending the majority of the day shopping for, setting up for and then going to meet – the puppies! Yes, Shep and Rhuby will be official members of the Pye clan by about 7pm. Here is a photo of Shep taken by the breeder this evening…
He has grown into quite the handsome little weasel, eh? This time tomorrow, their crates will be in my room, my kitchen will – or be about to – smell like shit, Boss will be having a coronary on a piece of tall furniture and no shoes will be safe. So now help me enjoy Rhubarb’s lovely face while it’s still a great idea and not yet a reason I’m praying for death in the fetal position while trying to sleep…
What a pair! I’m incredibly excited and I know all of the hard work will be worth it. They’ll make sure I’m early to bed, early to rise and living a structured and routine life – which can be a challenge for your old pal Dave sometimes. I will also be training them to bite me on the nose anytime I refer to myself in the third person. There will undoubtedly be lots of puppy-related content popping up on here over the weekend, so stay tuned – and perhaps say a small prayer.
Take them outside every hour all day and they may never shit in your kitchen. after the first few shits inside they’ll think thats the place to go. you should talk to the dog stoopider she knows her shit…
I will. Every day I’m going to take them out every hour on the hour. I’ve read several books, talked to you and Amy and the breeder too. I think I am ready!
Dude…dogs rule. Totally talk about it some more. You won’t look like a tool at all! Turd.
When my family got Baylee, I was 16, and we had her for a week of Spring Break before we all went back to school/work. And she was fine. I got a parking pass from the school and drove back every day to let her out at lunch and play for the next year and a half. I think you’ll be fine with being there during the day and all. We had her sleeping in bed with us starting that first night — on towels, just in case, but still. It wasn’t as hard as I thought to get her housebroken, either, although to be fair I wasn’t generally cleaning up when she messed up the carpet. As long as you have a good carpet cleaner (or hardwood/tile), you’ll be fine. Oh, and puppies tend to chew through flimsy baby gates, FYI. All in all, I’m sure you’ll be more than fine. Good luck with PUPPIES!!!
Dog: You’re a bit of a douchebag, eh?
