Well. . .we figured it out. Having a puppy is not easy. . .But, it sure is rewarding. Every day we watch Tug Boat grow up, learn new things, have new adventures and we can't say much more than we love our little puggle.I have new nicknames for him every day from "Bubba" to "BoBo" to "Little Chicken". He is truly our little man and a constant source of entertainment.
Now that he has all of his shots, we happily take him to the dog park three to four times a week, he is also sleeping about seven hours a night, and has fewer accidents in the house (as I type this though, he's peeing on the floor). His favorite toy seems to be a stuffed duck given to him by his Uncle Derek and Auntie Janelle and Cousin Roscoe. He loves nutra dent bones. He can chew one for hours which gives us just enough time to clean up the mess he's made in the house. He's mischievious and cuddly, sweet and a terror all at once. Tug Boat is the prodigy of his puppy school classes, a friend of everyone at the small dog park, and knows commands like "sit" (taught to him with treats by his Auntie Smoke) and "wanna go outside". He truly is a joy. If we are this enamored with our puppy, we fear what we are going to be like with our children. :)
