Our Lives

Today is even better than yesterday. Our little pup is learning, adjusting, and growing up quite quickly. Last night Veronica and I challenged him to go 4 hours between potty breaks to allow us to get a little more sleep. It basically worked. He managed to make it from 10pm – 1:45am. Our goal was 2am.  I took him out. He then managed to make it from 1:50am-5:45am! Yahoo! He’s getting it. And we’re getting more sleep.

He’s also beginning to sleep longer during the day. That’s a good thing too because it will allow me to get to work longer hours during the day instead of just at night.

The best part is he’s starting to go farther on walks. At first it was just around the house. Then up the cul-de-sac and back. Then after a bit it was 2-3 times up the cul-de-sac and back. Now we can get a bout 2 blocks from the house and back and he seems to do good. Sometimes it takes a lot of stop and go coaxing to get him moving, but after that he generally walks quite nicely. Right by my side or slightly behind me. He gets distracted by passing cars but I don’t let him dwell in his anxiety so he just goes back to normal right afterward.

We have currently had lunch and had a romp out in the back yard. The sun is shining and the snow is melting so it made for a good bit of fun for Enzo. Now he’s cashed out at the back door in the sun beam! He’s a good one and he’s going to get better!

Later today is our first car ride and trip to the vet. I shall report on how that went!
