I definitely feel as though Ive been transported back to first days home with a new baby.

Everything is focused on sounds he makes, toileting, feeding, playing, trying to get things done while he's napping. He seems to have one of his very cute little ears cocked to where I am and when I move away, he's awake again. So not getting the depth of nap I'm sure he needs as a very young pup. Good thing I've got a very quiet life and can devote the time. I like that there's spaniel somewhere back in his lineage and he's certainly soft and human pleasing like a spaniel. But he's his own boy too and it's going to be interesting to see what other aspects of the lab and poodle genes show up. Right now, he's just a ridiculously cute little fluff ball who melts into my arms to be petted. Have to remind myself I've only had him for 3 weeks, so barely into any kind of routine established. I'm just beginning to take him around outside for socialisation. It's a bit of a challenge as I live in a very quiet suburban neighbourhood. I'll have to drive him to nearby places for new sounds and people. Not letting him on the ground yet as he's only recently had his second shots, but soon will take him for short walks in the neighbourhood. I leave him with classical music on the HomePod (I read they like that). He'll be better educated musically than I am.

Little boy has just kipped out at my feet while I've been waiting for his post brekkie poop. Hope he remembers the bells when he wakes up. That's more or less where I left off with Fraser. In his latter months, it was all about pooping and taking him out at all hours, poor boy. Still much loved.
