Thanks guys! He really is a great puppy. I'm totally in love.
Update - - he's eating just fine, he sleeps through the night - no crying! I'd say he piddles on the pad maybe 60% of the time which is pretty good. My boyfriend loves him (shocked!) and so does my son! He's a joy.
He does really well in his pen. I have a pad in there and he's doing a really good job of using it. I'd say his success of using the pad in his pen is higher than when he's in the living room playing.
Overall we're doing really well. I have no regrets!! So nanny boo boo to all of my friends and family that said I would regret getting a puppy.
