Hi everyone,
Dp had his second vacs so we also started walks now. He really seems to love it and he walks so well, unlike my other dog who is just a bit wild at times. Did have a few sitting down moments and we had to greet every other person that walked by. Luckily they are all puppy friendly around here, so I wasn't sure who was more pleased to see who.
Toilet training....well I suppose we are going forward. We haven't successfully made it through the night yet. Although he doesn't wake me, there are always 2 or 3 poos on the paper in the morning, and what seems like a river of wees. I thought perhaps I should bring forward his dinner time from 6pm, so have been doing 5.30 now, but no difference to what occurs in the night. We have had some plops and wees on the mat, a little annoying when he has been outside for ages, then comes straight in and wees on the mat. He is 13 weeks now.
And he had a smack on the nose this morning. I know its probably not best practice but he wouldn't stop biting my legs as I was trying to walk up the passage at 5am this morning, after a horrendous nights sleep. Every step I took he nipped the back of my legs, they are honestly all pit holed and scratched. So there was a yelp and he stopped doing it. I felt awful though.
And another first today. I left him in the garden with our other dog whilst I popped to get the dc from school. Otherwise I put him in the kitchen and separate an area off so he cannot get into the rest of the house. I was late and so left him in the garden, when we got back he was happy to see us (only gone 15 mins), but I do need him to get used to the car coming in and out. Next step is to teach him to not run out of the gate whilst its opening and I am driving in. Will tackle that one next week 
Otherwise, he is lovely, so much better now and putting on weight (he was ill and very underweight). He is 6.4kgs now, up from 4.2 the week before. He has also become a lot more cuddly, which of course I am making the most of whilst he is still tiny.
