Happy First Week Wyatt: Wyatt 2.0

Week 2 began with more introductions to friends (human and animal) and people and places. I discovered a few things this week: Wyatt gained about 5 pounds, Wyatt likes to ride in the car and Wyatt likes to make new friends in Dad's places.

Dad traveled to the V.A. hospital this past week as his awesome nurses were going crazy wanting to meet the new puppy. Dad took Wyatt for a car ride and we met the girls at the front entrance. Coincidentally, Dad needed some lab works done, so the girls were more than happy to watch him in their 9th floor office. When Dad returned to "retrieve" (pun intended) him, he was having difficulty gaining custody from the nurses who fell in love with Wyatt and didn't want to give him back. Yikes!

Wyatt returned to Starbucks a few times as well, where the Starbucks people wanted to make him the official greeter. He has made plenty of friends there while visiting a few times a week.

Wyatt, being a puppy seems to have the need to taste everything and chew whatever he can get his mouth on. Teething regardless of two or four legs is a long process to endure for older humans. We hope the process moves along quickly and there is still items left in the house that don't contain teeth marks. Ha Ha.

Wyatt has also done well with his training. He now does several basic commands pretty well each time: Sit, Shake, Wait (sits and waits to go to his food), Come, and my favorite Potty. He has only had a couple of accidents in two weeks and is getting the hang of going to the back door when he needs to go out to Potty.

We truly love this guy and are enjoying him very much. We can't say all of our other pets are as excited as we are, but they are slowly either coming around or are staying away from Mr. Happy as much as possible. We've had some really funny encounters where our true cat does not like him at all and let him know it quite quickly. Our other two cats (who are more dog like) have taken up playing with him little by little.

Here are a few new pictures taken during the week. More to follow in the next update. Until next time - woof!
