Thanks everyone. He has definitely won our hearts over for sure! He is such a little lover boy. He has found his voice too (probably thanks to his big sisters teaching him I'm sure) and has the cutest little bark. Its so much fun seeing him wrestle with Tinkerbell. I put the girls in Howie's pen at the rescue so they could get acquainted and see if they would get along. He and Tink took to each other INSTANTLY, playing, etc. Its like they were made for each other. Stormy (our chihuahua mix) is a little unsure of him. I think its a mix between jealousy b/c she's not the baby anymore, and uncertainty of this little puppy that she's afraid she'll hurt since she's a bit bigger than Tink and Howie (Stormy is 12 lbs versus the 6 and 7 lbs of Howie & Tink). I'm sure she will warm up to him soon though.

We will be opening up our pool in a few weeks (if the weather cooperates) so I'm going to talk to the vet about doing water therapy with him. We've let him swim in the bath tub and he really seems to like it, and I would think it would be good to help strengthen his little hips. I'll keep ya'll posted.
