I wasn't sure about Bear at first - it was the kids idea, but he has such big paddy paws and when he's sprawled out on the floor he looks like a little black bear skin rug  ;) It just seemed to suit him! Must work out how to post some pics...

I've put some pictures up on the photo board.

Bear's still settling in well. He's slowly finding his feet and getting less nervous around us and the house, I guess the one downside of being a slightly older pup is he's hit the wary stage so we're working hard on building up his confidence and giving him lots of reassurance. He was great on his first night - no howling/whining at all, but last night the little monkey had found his voice box!! Still I guess it's only to be expected at this early stage.

My friend who is a dog trainer is popping over this morning to meet him and give me some hints and tips on settling him and starting training. I want to make sure I get us off on the right foot and I'm conscious I probably need as much training as Bear does  :005:
