Pee pee pads and chew toys
My little man is growing up fast! I swear he's so much bigger than when we got him home last week!
This week has been a challenge of patience. We've been battling with Bug to get him to use his puppy training pads regularly, and luckily we have wooden floors downstairs, so we haven't had too many disastrous accidents. Apart from the one where he woke from a deep sleep and proceeded to pee all over my sofa. For the past couple of days he's been having a good few hours, then returning to his floor peeing ways. Today though, we seem to have had a break through. His last three pee pees have been on the pad, of his own accord. Usually we have to sit with him and keep placing him back on it until he does one, so this is huge! Liam and I sadly sat, silently cheering as he did his last one. I've got everything crossed that he carries on knowing where to go!
Other than that, the little blighter has been teething this week, meaning we've had to buy a couple of new chew toys for him to play with. Although, he does seems to prefer fingers at the moment.
One thing he has learnt the meaning of, is the word 'No'. As long as we say it forcefully, he reacts and stops what he's doing straight away.
Next week he gets his first jab. I'm a little nervous because I know I'm going to feel like a horrible mummy, but I know it's all worth it and soon it means he can finally learn to do his business in the garden. It also means we can start going for walkies!
Right at this moment, he's lying in his bed, snuggled up in a blanket. Unlike Luna, when she was a kitten, he doesn't make a very good blogging buddy. He always wants to either sit on the keyboard or chew the corners of my laptop.
