Ozzie!

Hi Guys,
I have been meaning to contact you but I just don't know where time goes. We are having such a great time with Ozzie.....he is such a sweetheart & his personality is slowing starting to come out ( although he does get tired & sleeps much).
He's already been to the vet & gotten his 2nd shots. He has started to feel comfortable in his playpen & doesn't give too much trouble when put in there....when we are home we lock him sometimes & let him have access at will also, so the combo is helping....he also started to whine less when we put him in the crate at night.... He sleeps next to my bed so I think that helps a lot as he is not alone. One his first night home, he went in the crate & wouldn't come out even for potty & we literally had to pull him out, the next day he howled for 15-20 minutes, slept for 3 hrs, did potty & howled again for another 20 minutes..... Yesterday he whined for 2 minutes... Love it. Purchased a large traditional crate today so let's see how that goes.
Potty training if going okay... He has had a few accidents when we were not paying attention but majority of the time he has gone outside. He's also lowing starting to use the doggie door. We put new gravel in the doggie run, so training there has begun.
Today we left Him 2 times in the playpen for an hour at a time when we were running errands & he was fine chilling in his big bed. So he knows, when we leave we come right back. Tomorrow will be a real test as school is back on & I go to work. He will be lone for 5 hours at least. Praying that he will not stress out or get scared.
I have to take my hat off to you. I just don't know how you handle a toddler, a baby and all those puppies. It's truly amazing. Thanks so much for giving us our new baby. Will keep you updated as much as I can.
May God Bless you both always,
Adina
