Dyson has been doing great during the day, but has been creating quite the smelly mess in his crate each night. Not sure if it has been the stress of a new home, the changeover of food, or anxiety about bring in his crate at night, but the little guy's digestive system is not doing him (or Tanya and I) any favors right now.
We started halfway through the week mixing the new and old food more evenly, portioning how much and how often he eats a bit better and playing some NPR on a radio near his crate at night to help him feel less lonely and it has seemed to really help. Last night he actually went the entire night without any of the panicked barking and whining that has kept us awake all week and though he did go in his crate, it was on the pad and much easier to clean up. The same as with a newborn baby, we are finding that the world spins easier with a puppy when there is a strict schedule involved.
He has found he loves the backyard, the cat and socks of all shapes and sizes. He LOVES the Bully Stick from Lola, Cheech & Mooey's. He loves chewing on his new brothers and sleeping in front of the cat's little box. (???)
Thursday he visited Greyson's preschool class and they had a blast chasing each other in the leaves. Dyson was disappointed he couldn't follow all of his new little friends back into the classroom. He is definitely a social little guy.
