On Monday I finally got my long-wished for Standard Poodle puppy. He is, of course, brilliant, beautiful and perfect in every way :) Dh had taken the boys to the beach for a few days and I stayed home b/c of work. Puppy goes to work with me every day and we got settled into a really good schedule right away.
Cue family coming home last night to meet him for the first time and ds2 is completely over the moon about getting a puppy. I expected this, of course, and we had been talking for a while about getting one but I (and the dog) were a bit taken aback at just how constant - and constantly irritating - ds2 was with the puppy. I tried to explain that the little guy needs time to get used to everyone and to give him a little more space, which ds1 (8) understood immediately.
Is there a book on a 4 year old level to illustrate what it is like for a pet to get used to a new home?
