Thanks for all the encouragement! Not.

Quay ate stuff -- like laying around objects. Hol, Mayson, Shay, Melli nada! Cubby -- land shark! Sixth time is the charm, I guess. This will be my major goal with him! He is also obsessed with oak leaves, dry ones. Not good considering I have at least 50 on my property. Sounds like I will have a crate as a permanent household fixture.

Missy was adorable!

Baker wants to eat EVERYTHING outside. Green grass, dry grass, green leaves, dry leaves, twigs, big sticks, little sticks - even caught him with a small rock! As much as I love the cute "puppyness" of the little guy I also will be happy when this phase is over.

He does do pretty good in the house, and I'm sure it helps that he can barely take a step without running into one of his toys.

Ok, wanna hear something pretty gross? My neighbors used to smoke and they would throw their cigarette butts over the balcony to the grass below. One time when I was walking Missy (as a puppy) and not paying attention, she decided to pick one up :ick. I was able to stop her and get it out of her mouth quickly, but I told the apartment complex about it and they put notices out to our entire building reminding them not to do that and the fine if you're caught. The same neighbors are still there, but they've stopped smoking, so no more butts on the ground. And it's probably not a bad idea for their own health. Puppies.. they'll put anything in their mouths!
 
My Quay used to eat cigarette butts / cigar butts, vitamins, candy bars in the wrapper, shoes, books (incl. a Bible), wood pieces. He was a danger to himself.
 
OMG! Both of those teeth photos are just too cute!

So...when Quay ate the Bible did you find yourself saying Holy *****?

sorry - hope I didn't offend anyone with that...
 
Enzo came home on Sunday and is still settling in, but he's doing so well! I picked him up at the San Diego airport, which was less stressful than I anticipated. We drove back to my parents' house an hour and a half away and he didn't make a peep the whole way. He was the same when we came back to the central coast the next morning.

So far he's been SUCH a good little puppy. He's 14 weeks old, and so far has only had 1 accident which was at my parents' house. He's a good little office puppy so far, too. Slept most of the day today, and we played fetch at lunch.

He isn't really into food at this point. Doesn't eat that much when I put it out, and haven't seemed to find anything super tasty that he'll work for when training. Maybe he's still settling in?

One thing we have to work on is jumping. He doesn't jump on people, but he jumps on THINGS. Tries to jump on the bed, the counters (counter surfing, but he's too short), he tried to jump on the toilet once. And he's figured out he can get on the coffee table from the couch. Gotta nip that in the bud.

I added some pictures to my album here:

I LOVE the upside down shot - my Trace did that from puppy on. Hubby tells me he has seen baby Baker sleeping like that but I haven't.

Sounds like your little guy is settling in just fine!
