well i lived out the last few hours before getting him. it seemed like it took forever! we had to make an 8 hour round trip to get him but it was soooo worth it! he is settling in just fine now and gets along great with the kids. he has a problem with peeing right on the outside of his puppy pad but i am working with him on this. he gets a treat if he goes potty on the pad

so far, he is everything i expected and more!
