Ummm...why are you getting into "off-limits" items?

Comet is 13 weeks old and he and his rest of his siblings are in the phase of getting into "off-limit" items such as wires, trashcans, furniture. Comet has learned to jump onto the dinning room table and see what goodies are up there. He loves to stick his head into the living room trash can in hopes to find tissues, dryer cloths, and other yucky stuff. Comet's sister has even gotten into the beef roll that we use for treats in puppy class.


Otherwise being a puppy, Comet is a sweet little thing. But he does whine at everything-he whines when he wants to see someone, going to the bathroom (yes he does), whines because he wants too. He is a smart puppy and catches on things very fast-he is the shining star in puppy class (I know I sound like a bragging mother here!). Since I've not been posting as much lately here are two pictures of Comet; one is when I brought him home the first time and the other one was taken yesterday. You can tell how much he has grown!

Comet and the rest of the Dragon babies are 10 weeks old tomorrow

Comet has been home for 2 days and is adjusting very well. The first night was pretty rough though; 30 minutes of howling and yapping and finally quietness. He finally went asleep at 11:30 PM and didn't wake up till 4 AM but howled for another 30 minutes. Then another 2 and half hours of sleep for me and Comet. The next day I did teach him "sit" and "down" and didn't take him long to learn both. Now when I take him outside he sits in front of the door without being told and waits for me to put the leash on, open the door and waits for me to exit and then he follows. Same thing when he comes in and then sits back down so I can take the leash off and waits for me to say "okay" to goes off for a toy!

Comet's personality is so sweet-he loves everyone he meets and excitedly shakes his butt. He loves dogs his size, but is cautious with the bigger ones. At times he can be a goof, a clown, a love-bug, and stubborn, but he is very smart. He does not like carrots but likes cheese. All around Comet is a wonderful puppy.

Comet is Home!

I can't believe the moment is here! Comet is home! I met up Dawn at Petsmart in Bel Air, MD and was looking for her. I quickly spotted Fehren and then turned and saw Comet in the cart where Kevin was waiting. Everything around me seemed to disappear and no longer existed- it was just me and Comet. I almost cried but didn't get to that point; I just held him and kissed him. That emptiness I was feeling for 6 months vanished in a blink of a eye. Now the real stuff begins, puppy classes constant training, and cleaning pee and poop (but he seems to be doing good so far). It's nice to hear footsteps behind me again!

It is the day before Comet comes home and I have no idea which boy I am going to get. I am like a child on Christmas Eve night-I am too excited to sleep soundly and kept tossing and turning.
