We finally got our new puppy home, right now his name is Tic, he is pretty happy with that name so it might just stick to him.
He is already glued himself to my oldest and myself, my youngest is trying to help out so he will bond to her as well. He is a smart little bugger, quick to catch on to most things, and did so well on his trip. Day one was over 6 hours, he would wine and bark in his new kennel for about 5 mintues each time we took him out to pee on the way but then quickly settle down and relax. The second part of the trip was 8 hours total between pee breaks and food/visit stops, and he did very well. Never one accident in his kennel and very little complaining when put back in.
He has been introduced to the chickens, ducks, and cats. Barked at the sheep but then left it alone. Has ridden on the Ranger and we have played a few games of come. He does really well. He met the other two dogs last night and did good, growled at Max once but a firm no and he never did it again. Of course Max and Pete were very good with him.
I think this new addition to the family is going to work out very well.
