Teddy Webster's Update

Teddy Webster at home July 7, 2012

As you can see, I still am behind on sharing our updates!   Its fun to go back and reread the lovely letters that people have shared.  And I am SURE you all are happy to finally be able to read it too!

Hey Mary-

A nice rainy day to send you an update on Webster.

First off, I love the litterbox.  Not one accident so far...not even almost in the box accidents...and we have moved the box as we moved around the house.  He is a middle of the night pooper and the box has been a real sleep saver.

Webster has adjusted to our house pretty well - some real separation anxiety that we are working on and the typical puppy nipping (also working on that), but he seems to have settled in.

 

He likes the neighbors who have come to meet him (lots of aunts and uncles so far)  - no issues there - largely due, I believe, to your beginning socialization and handling.

He and Rob are currently watching a soccer game on TV and Webster is content to snooze the afternoon away in quiet companionship.

He has 2 speeds, puppy-spastic-frantic and then snooze.  Everyonce in awhile during his frantic activity he barks at his reflection or at a toy but is quiet overall (unless we leave).  He has figured out how to maximize the slide speed on the hardwood floor and has a great time doing that.   In the snooze speed his favorite place so far seems to be on top of my feet if I am still enough.  If I am not still, it is on the corner of the rug closest to me or to Rob.

The tip on mixing wet food in with the dry until he adjusted worked great....he will eat both ways and LOVES his meal time. A bit shy at first about eating you now just have to tap on the stainless bowl and he comes running...and sits before he eats without asking!

What a great addition to our family!  And what a great start you gave him. 

Many thanks!   ---- S and R
