Pictures of whomever it may be.

Judy has offered to post some pics below. I can't get them to my computer.

[Yankee]

Judy - I think I got carried away. Just post some of them. Thanks.

They are all so cute! Here are 4 to start us off, and 4 more coming!

Oh my goodness, Yankee, he's so freakin' CUTE! I love how Chloe is checking him out. Such a little fluff ball! He seems pretty mellow, not a crazy rambunctious puppy which must be nice. I can't wait to hear stories about him!

[Amanda]

Cutie!!!

[Jen]

Love him!

[QBert]

Chloe: "this is a terrible sheep, it smells like a puppy."

[UpwardDog]

So cute!
Sam, Rosie and Tricky send condolences to Chloe

[Yankee]

Qbert - don't egg her on.
Thanks for all the nice comments. He's really a lot cuter in person, but, Sherri, he's not mellow.
Chloe and noname have actually been playing and running around. He will sit upon command already. The only problem is he walks around with his mouth open ready to eat anything within a foot of it, and i'm not just talking about food!.

The big downside is taking him outside for twenty minutes and standing there when there's snow on the ground and it's only 8 degrees - while he does nothing..

[Amanda]

Looks like a tasty rabbit on the hearth there.

[maxs_mommy]

He's adorable! Chloe will get him set to right soon I'm sure.

[Yankee]

Well, his name is Baxter (Bax).
He woke up every two hours last night and cried softly. Fortunately, he went immediately when put outside and we were both back in bed in like two minutes.
Chloe wasn't as enamored of him today, and would give a glare or air snap and he stayed away from her. I hope they become good buds.
He really really is cute - but he wants to chew everything - all the time.
My wife said maybe we should look for a corgi too and get the puppy stage over with for good! Ahuh.

[SherriA]

Well, it's not Phil, but Baxter isn't a bad name. I think it will grow on you.

All that getting up all night and the chewing? That's why I don't do puppies! Thank goodness there are people like you who are willing to go through it, because I sure don't have the patience. You're going to have fun with him.

[Yankee]

He slept through the night! I kept waking up and at 6 I couldn't stand it anymore and put him out. Hasn't had an accident in the crate!

[Calypso]

Awwww! So cute! And it sounds like Baxter is fitting in well.

If your wife named the golden puppy, does that mean you get to name the corgi?

[Yankee]

I doubt it, Jill!
My hands look like I have some disease from the puncture wounds. He will sit and he will stay when told, but no shake or "lie" yet regardless of treat. He goes immediately when told "out", but he's is not getting the concept of only going outside. We only had one accident on carpet - all the rest have been on kitchen tile. He and Chloe actually played for more than an hour last night, with Chloe pinning Baxter with her chin. Then Bax dropped into deep sleep. When he got up and went after Chloe, she snapped at him, and he wanted nothing to do with her the rest of the night.
This is tiring!!!

[SherriA]

Puppies are a lot of work! I love visiting, but I love leaving them behind almost as much.

[Jen]

Sounds like he's a lot of fun! I'm with Sherri - I like puppies in small doses.

[UpwardDog]

I love puppies but they are a lot of work, that is for sure. Sometimes it feels like the potty training and razor blade teeth phase will last forever.

[PofiMia]

Oooooh, Baxter! Welcome!! He is just luscious, Yankee!!!

[Claire]

Happy to check in and find things going so smoothly, in puppy terms.
How well I remember the sharp teeth! So very happy for all of you to have excitement in your lives! I'm looking forward to more Baxter/Chloe stories and photos.

[Yankee]

He has been ringing bells at the backdoor to go out since last Monday. We no longer have to worry about "accidents". It's wonderful. The chewing our hands has decreased as well. He's turning into a real sweety. WE went to the vet yesterday and he's up to 18.5 pounds.

[JudyL]

That is wonderful, Yankee. I'm so happy for you and your wife that you decided to get him.

[SherriA]

Ringing bells already? You've got a smart little guy there!

[maxs_mommy]

Aww, what a smart little guy!

[Claire]

I'm enjoying watching Bax grow up before our very eyes. Love the puppy stage..... at someone else's home.

[Yankee]

He really is behaving pretty well. A simple no will stop any chewing now, and he has had no accidents since the first week or so. He will also sit, stay, come, lie down, and shake immediately. He goes to puppy school starting Monday night. Chloe hates him, even tho he leaves her alone (tho he begs her to play)..

[maxs_mommy]

Aww, its hard having a smartypants for a little brother. Glad Baxter is doing well!
