Thanks, he is 9 pounds of absolute cuteness. I'm afraid I'm still working on a name though. I think I've fallen in love with the idea of naming him Cricket, but my mom just hates that name (she isn't an insect person <.<) His previous/registered name is Desert Storm for anyone interested.
He's been doing really great these past few days. He has become a lot less whiney to come out of the crate when I leave the room. I think he is starting to calm down and adjust to his new environment, not to mention realize I don't react to whining at all. It is amazing what the simple act of ignoring can do when it comes to molding ones behavior.
Thankfully, he has also been feeling a lot better. A week before we went up to get him, he was neutered. Of course that is never pleasant, but to add to it he managed to give himself a slight infection do to too much licking. First day we got him he really didn't want to do anything but sit and lay down because he wasn't feeling good when it came to moving. We got him another dose of meds to clear it up, and a no lick collar. It is basicly a brace that goes along his neck and makes it so he can't bend and reach to lick. Poor guy looks like he has a broken neck when he walks around with it. I hate making him have to wear it, but at night or when I don't have him out, its a must to make sure he doesn't lick. It all is working though because he is feeling much better. Loves to bound around and play.
He has also be very good about using the proper potty, aka the backyard. He has been peeing out there well on our bathroom breaks, and so far he has only had one poop accident in his crate. It was only a tiny little one and I merely used it as an oppertunity to scoop it up and dump in his potty area so he had something to sniff around in the backyard. Sadly we are still waiting for him to poop again. He hasn't been eating a lot lately do most likely to all the stress. Been slowly eating more and more of his food though so I'm hoping to get him to go pooh IN THE BACKYARD soon. <.< Lol sorry for all the potty talk just couldn't help but update.
Oh, in other good news today was his birthday, he is now 1 year old. Went to the petstore and got him some yummy chicken jerky dog treats he loves, a Kong chew toy, and some little tennis dog size tennis balls for presents. X3
And now, for a little update on me. Went in to have an MRI today. Because of the Migrains, my doctor had me see an nerologist who wanted the tests on just to rule out there isn't anything funky going on in my brain... well outside of my usually wacky mantis obsessed thoughts. Wasn't too bad, though as usually I had to wait for 40 minutes before being seen. Hates the wait times in most doctor offices.
