10 Things I've Learned about TJ

I've learned a LOT about TJ in the last almost 24 hours we've had him... some good things, some not so good things.....
  1. Crates are amazing and I'm so lucky TJ likes his!  He slept from 9:30-6:15 last night without a peep!
  2. A sleeping puppy is about the cutest thing EVER!
  3. TJ is figuring out where to go potty.  He's had 2 accidents in the house and both were my fault - I didn't leave him out long enough the first time, and the second time I just wasn't watching and he peed right next to the door.  He's a smart little guy.  
  4. The biggest drama I had today:  Allie dropped a glass of milk on the floor, busted the glass and milk went everywhere.  I was trying to clean up that mess and Hayden told me TJ "peed a circle on the floor".  Hayden stepped in and helped me out though!
  5. Dogs are really much more friendly and accepting than cats.  Little TJ couldn't wait to see Harry and Holeshot this morning (he bounced out to the garage with a big puppy smile on his face) and was greeted with a double hiss!
  6. I have never woken up to a puppy - didn't really know what to expect (I was thinking a stretchy/yawning puppy) but woke up to a very loud whine.  As I hurried to let him out of his crate it was madness!  Ankle biting, pant biting, running laps through the house kinda madness.
  7. Watching Hayden and TJ play together just about melts my heart.  I thought TJ would be Allie's dog, but he's definitely bonded with Hayden!
  8. There are way too many kids of dog shampoos!  It took me a good 15 mins to smell and read all the puppy options at PetSmart.  I'm hoping I picked a good one!
  9. Biggest fail of the day - I let Hayden pee outside - and (true story) TJ must have thought it s a sprinkler because I couldn't get him to stop running through the stream!  
  10. He definitely has made our day 100% more fun!
