MILTON!

Today Milton came home from rachels house. Hes adorable. A little fluffball of energy. He bounces round the house and wont sit still.

I have already trained him to play fetch and am well on the way with sit, hehe, bit more practice on that one tho, he cant stay still for two seconds.

I guess having a new puppy that i am responsible for is kind of like having a little baby. I have to make sure he does all the usuals like eating and drinking (which he does anyway cuz hes a dog), I have to play with him constantly because hes so energetic and gets bored fairly easily. I have to clean up after him when he knocks things over and whn he poos everywhere (i even have to wipe his bum, hehe). I also have to make sure the other one (molly the cat) adapts to him and doesnt get jealous or angry and that she gets attention too. I also know that im responsible for his development, i have to make sure he doesnt get bad habbits, and that he learns whats socially acceptable and whats not. I'm responsible for training him to be a good, well balanced dog. Seems a bit hard sometimes , particularly when i'm running in circles after him round the yard to wear him out, and when he wont sit still and be good it seems impossible.

How much greater is the task of being a parent going to be? But also, how much does the love of a baby exceed that of a puppy... pretty exciting.

Anyways, thats about all from me. I love my little bundle of fluff. he is adorable. And now he is sleeping... WHAT A RELEIF! hehe

have a super day everyone :)
