A new member of my family
The last two days was damn hectic. From the night Snowy came into the family, it was cleaning up pee and poo the whole night. Anxiety sets in cause you have no idea what to do and how to train him. Then comes reading. I think the internet is damn wonderful. I typed:" Care for puppies" and out came like 99999999 hits. Of course I didnt read all; I just read the relevant few. That night was terrible, I was woken up by him and I had a test the next morning. GG.
The next day, as expected, I think I farked up my test =( Damn sad, but its over. I was so tired I knocked out the moment I got home after the test in the morning. When I woke up around two we went shopping for some pet stuff. But this was not without some drama before leaving the house. Snowy just pooed on the carpet. GG. Mass cleaning up. Anyway, I bought alot of stuff for him, from shampoo to food, from the collar to a kennel. =)
Its quite frustrating when you are house training your dog. No kidding, try cleaning up like in the 10000 places it peed or pooed. GG. However, when it does respond to your calls and when it does what you want it to do, I find it all so rewarding and fulfilling. When it came like 2 days ago, he didnt respond to its name. I had decided on the name snowy even before I decided boy or gal. Was thinking that if its a male dog tough luck to him. Imagine you are the dog and next time in the dog parks, the westie next door is called Toby and you are called Snowy; you are a male dog. ROFL. I think all the dogs will be laughing at him. Tough luck mate its my call not yours =)
He is so adorable and loveable. Right now as I as typing he is lying in front of me sleeping while I do my work. =)
I took some pictures of him and I want to show him off. Here it goes:

This is him the first night sleeping in a milk crate cause I have not gotten anything for him yet. Buying him was a like long considered impulsive buy. Ok I am not making sense. =P
Want to chew on a bone any one?

Another picture of him playing with his bone on my table.
The night he came. Small compared to me eh? Btw, I did not get him so I would appear more sensitive or SNAG. Serious. Its all about love.

Snowy in his kennel for the first time. I gave him my old bed sheets to cuddle on. He couldnt be bothered about me cause he was so tired.
Training him to pee OUTSIDE and not inside the house. Cute eh.

Another reason why a dog is better than a bitch. You cannot use the bitch as a wrist rest. This model comes with an alarm for 6am. v(^_^)V
