Proud Puppy Mom story!

So we've had the pup since last Thursday. He turned 9 weeks on Saturday.
I've been "bell training" him, that is every time I go to bring him outside to potty, I make him touch his nose to a bell that I've hung on the doorknob as I'm saying "go out?"
We were just sitting in the living room and I heard the bell tinkle. He was standing up to reach the bell.
I brought him outside and he took a poo!

Good Boy Baxter!!!

I think he's going to be a smart pup!

He and his big brother, Cooper (who will be bigger for about another week!) are adjusting to one another. They've been wrestling on the couch for the past 1/2 hour!

Baxter is adorable.

When did you get him? Weren't you the one trying to get a dog from a breeder? Or maybe I'm confused.

How cute! I swear Goldens really ARE as smart as they make 'em. From the time he was just a little pup, mine not only learned superfast, but trained himself.

WHAT A SWEETIE PIE!!

Take movies of those wrestling matches!!

Got him last Thursday.
Yes, we were considering another Boston but I couldn't get over missing my Goldens. So I did get him from a breeder. After doing a LOT of homework; reading, making calls, etc.

He's a beautiful little boy and I felt my heart go "Pop" on the way home with him last Thursday!
