Hello everyone!
I went to the breeder today to look at the puppy and ended up bringing him home. Dexter has a chocolate coat with green eyes and is soo cute! He is 12 weeks and about 5-6 lbs. Should be about 10-12 lbs as an adult. He did really well on the 2 hour car ride home and now he's wandering around the house, getting used to everything, and following me around.
A few things that I'm worrying about:
1. He hasn't eaten or drank much since we've been home (about 3 hours). Could this be because he is just so busy exploring and getting used to his surroundings?
2. I have taken him out about three times and he has not used the bathroom. All he really wants to do is put the leash in his mouth and chase me around. Not sure if this is also normal, but in addition to the car ride, he has not been to the bathroom in at least five hours.
I know its only been a few hours since he's been here and I'm probably just worrying for nothing. Tonight should be very interesting with the first night in the crate, I think I am going to put him near my bed so he can hear/smell me. I will keep you all posted!
Enjoy the picture!
