I had forgotten how consuming it is to have a new puppy! It's been sixteen years since we had a new puppy and 14 years since we had an infant. He's only been home 1.5 hours, but we're all adjusting our day around him. It's so amazing that we've changed the dynamic of our household for the next 10-15 years in the time it took to drive him home. I'm thrilled and he's adjusting quickly.
He's 10 weeks today and slept most of the three hour drive home with only one potty break. He ate about 1/4 cup for lunch and promptly went outside to do his business. He loved his cuddle bear and Nylabone keys. Had a good play and now he's napping in his crate, door shut with no fuss, with his snuggle puppy which I rubbed all over one of his littermates so it would smell like "the brothers" he'll be missing. One question though. . . he's a noisy sleeper. Not snoring, but I can hear him breathing and he seems to be a heavy breather. Is this just because Cavies have shorter noses than the dachshunds we've been used to?
