Two weeks ago, we brought Henry home. I've kept in contact with his previous owner and she's said a few times, "I hope he's not a pain in the rear, puppies are a lot of work." And every time, I've assured her, we're all doing well and he's not a pain and is still so much fun. Yes, it's hard to get up at 4 a.m. because he's gotta go poop or pee, but that will pass. It is hard now, puppies are like babies in a way. They require constant love and attention and look to us for food and water. But puppies need the structure to learn the "right" things to do like chew on chew toys and not on shoes. So far, we've done really well, all five of us. (No shoes or furniture have been ruined or chewed on). The kids all pitch in to pick up the poop (I'm hoping they're still motivated when Henry is a big dog with big poop). And my husband is enjoying training Henry to do all things good. He's learning to sit, stay, lay down and "come here". And I feed him, love him and play with him when I can. He's a really good dog and we definitely feel blessed to have found such a handsome, fun and healthy puppy.
