Unintroducing Chipotle!

Just kidding! But he has had a few close calls :) Brent has gotten a few phone calls from me ready to put our new little trouble maker up on Craistlist. I forgot how much work a puppy is! And he is sooo much more of a dog than Macie is (Macie is a princess, or at least she thinks so). He likes to chew, bark (we pretty much have broken him of this habit, except for when he's in his crate and we leave. Then he's freaking nuts), play with toys, eat bones. Basically all the things dogs like to do, he does. Macie has never really been into any of that so it's been fun to have a little guy that is. We've also gotten him around kids and other dogs really quickly so he likes to play with other dogs.
The biggest surprise is that Macie LOVES him! I've never seen her be really friendly with another dog. But she actually plays with him! It's basically her just knocking him down and dominating him the whole time, but it's adorable and hilarious to watch. It's seriously Wrestlemania in our house all the time now (it does end in tears sometimes, though. But surprisingly it's Macie making Chip cry).

He does so well at going potty outside. But he still doesn't understand that is where he NEEDS to go. If he has to pee and we're inside he'll just go. And when you yell at him he looks at you like you're nuts. Pretty much he has no conscience, which is the opposite of Macie. If you yell at her, she acts like her world is ending.
We went to the Bite of Seattle this past weekend and brought the dogs (he's still too young to go that long alone) and we seriously got stopped every ten feet with people wanting to pet him. Poor Macie didn't get as much attention, but I think she was fine with that.

The kitties are doing a tiny bit better. Moo will watch him but she still doesn't come out very much if he is roaming around. Emma has had a pretty hard time and we don't see her very much, but at least she is eating again (she went a while without eating. So did Moo but she has a years worth of fat storage on her so we weren't too worried about her). Hopefully they'll start to come around more soon.


At the Bite of Seattle. Yes, we were those people.

He was so pooped by the end that he fell asleep on the steps.

First playdate with Aunt Zoe. She didn't know what to think of him at first but by the end she was bringing him some of her toys to play with.

Green ring Aunt Zoe gave him

Wrestlemania!

He's doing a somersault in this picture

Wrestling ended in tears after this picture was taken. You can see Miss Bully's teeth if you look close

Hard morning of playing

It's a rough life for a puppy!

He is ADORABLE! I'm telling you, start watching It's Me Or The Dog on AnimalPlanet (Saturday nights at like 9 or 10)...that woman is a genius and taught me soooooo much stuff about how to get Ellie trained. Although, no matter what, they are soooo much work. I can't wait to meet him!!!
