Title: Home at last!
Post by: Cob-Web on August 07, 2004, 06:23:13 AM
:D  :D  :D

Horray!

Molo finally came home yesterday afternoon (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_112.gif)

He was a total star - he slept lots yesterday afternoon - interspersed with short bursts of play (see the gallery).

We put him to bed in his crate in the kitchen at about 10pm, he cried for about 25 minutes, then settled down. (I slept on the sofa bed inthe next room)  :shock: I took him out for a wee at 1 am and he slept through until 5:30 this morning.

A bonio biscuit and 20 minutes play and he is flaked out again on the floor at my feet!

Only one puddle - entirely my fault  :roll:  and not too much chewing/biting so far......although I am making sure I have always got a toy to distract him from my hand/toes/hair/trouser legs :lol:

Thinking of taking him for a short trip today; we'll see how it goes.....but the carnival may be a wash out tomorrow as its forcast to pour with rain  :(

I'll keep you up to date with how I get on......I can't beleive he is finally here :wink:

Welcome home Molo.  Ahh, It's great to hear that he's settling well.  Isn't it great, waking up the first morning after bringing a pup home, it's so exciting isn't it?!?  Bet you can't stop looking at him.  Have fun!! :D

Well, we still haven't left the 'honeymoon' period with Molo yet, he is such a star :D

He slept from 11pm to 6:15 this morning, with a little crying when we left him, and one wee in the night. He is happy to doze in his playpen during the day with us in the next room, or even upstairs - and when we have popped him in to his pen for a few minutes cos we needed some space, he whines for only a few seconds and then settles with a chew toy to wait for us :!:

The problem is; if we get too used to this, it will be a very rude awakening if/when he finally becomes devil-pup :twisted:

He is not eating his full meals, but we are giving him a few 'treats' between meals, and he's full of beans when he's playing so I am guessing he's getting all he needs.

He may be the model pup you never know. We've only had any problems now Wilf is going through his adolescence, which I think people are really shocked when dogs go through this phase as its often unexpected.

Sorry Rachel I missed this!

Glad Molo is settling in so well, sounds like you're coping fine.  Just remember to be consistent and you'll be grand.

Hopefully I'll get to meet the little fella one day  :D
