Just thought I would let you know how the weekend went with our new puppy.  We named him Charley and the transition so far is going very well.   He was excellent on the ride home – rides very well, does not seem to bother him at all.    At night we have been keeping him in the kennel next to our bed which has been going very well I think he is really getting to like the kennel, and it really has not been too hard because when night comes he is so played out he just goes right to sleep, even the first night he didn’t cry much at all,  considering it was the first night.   We are still working on the potty training using the puppy pads, he has had some accidents but we are working on getting him in a routine and I don’t think it will take him long to catch on.   For being such a young puppy he seems to catch onto things very quickly.   We have two larger dogs a shitzu “Sam” ,  and half calvalier/half shitzu “Oscar”  and they are not quite sure of how to handle the little guy but both are adjusting to having him around very well, and just love to play with him, it is very interesting because I think they are a little confused as to how to handle him because he is so small, but they are so gentle with him and so far there has been no problems with jealousy – I have no doubt that within a week or two they are all going to be the best of buddies.     Charley is a lovable, playful, adorable little puppy and we love him already, we are thoroughly enjoying him.    It is so hard not to spoil him though because he is just such a cuddler (and so am I).     I would say you definitely know what you are doing, we have raised several puppies and this is by far the most well adjusted little puppy we have ever had, and appears that it is going to be an easy puppy to train and I credit you with that, we couldn’t be happier.   I’ll keep you updated on his progress and will send pictures as we go. 

 Thank you!  Suzanne
