 First Day in Real Time
Well my boy is finally here. Dutch is 12 weeks old. After having read countless books, I must say that I am surprised at how well behaved and mannered he is, although I know that will change w/ his 'teenage' months.
He was scared for the first half hour or so but calmed down after I let him explore the house. I follows me around and cries a little if I leave his side, but he is perfectly content to nibble on a bone quietly if I give him the option. Fortunately, when he is sleepy, he walks right into his crate and curls up for a nap.
He is used to having food out all day, and I intend to feed him at discrete times, so that will take some getting used to. The only other anomaly is that he has been here for like 5 hours and hasn't had to potty yet-- seems strange to me. He has definitely had a lot of water to drink and has had some nibbles but not a full meal yet.
Anyone have any tricks to induce defication or urination? |
