puppy!

so, we got a dog, happy day! we named him toby, and he's adorable! he's a 4 month old black and white cockapoo. he loves to run around and play, and will even play fetch. . . well, sort of. he'll run and get whatever you throw, but he doesn't bring it back. . . we're working on house breaking him, which is frustrating, but i think it's going well. he's crate trained, so he stays in there at night and when we're not around. if he goes on the floor, he goes in as well. today was the longest he'd ever been out, but he peed AND pooped on the floor, so in he went again! poor dog, but he's gotta learn somehow. up till his accident though, he'd been out of the crate for about 2 hours. he was a happy puppy, that's for sure. i just need to figure out his signal for needing to go out (if there even IS one yet), i think that'll help alot. till then, we'll just keep doing what we're doing. . .

i'm a little nervous about letting him run around the house mostly b/c he had fleas when we first got him home and i haven't had a chance to check and see if the treatment we put on him worked. i don't want him getting fleas in our carpets or furniture, so until i know that it's working, he'll be staying away from the softer surfaces. . .

anyways, here's some pictures of him; the first one is when he was getting a bath to help kill the fleas--

just resting--

no more pictures! silly puppy--

he's totally cute and really fun, and i'm sure that once he's housebroken and all the fleas are gone, we'll get to enjoy him even more! :)
