Right At Home

I have to say that Nigel is settling down and fitting in rather nicely with his family. His first night here he slept soundly in his kennel for about 7 hours. I woke up the following morning at around 7:30am and hopped out of bed quick because all was quiet in our house and I was afraid the puppy needed to pee.

As I came downstairs and walked into the kitchen, this is what I saw. Apparently Nigel woke up Drey up at 6am whining so Drey got up and left him out to pee. By the time I got up 90 minutes later, Drey and Sage had taken him out to pee twice and poop once, plus give him food. He had already nestled in Sage's crotch to take another nap by the time I even opened my eyes that morning.

Sage was sleepy from getting up so early so he just took a nap with him. I'm assuming his arms were cold and that's why he had them tucked in his shirt, but he wouldn't dare move and disturb the puppy.


Nigel is a big baby. He loves to be held, he prefers being held while he sleeps as you can see from the following pictures.


Now don't get me wrong, he wants to rip your arms and legs off when he sees you as a potential chew toy. The girls are especially fun for him because they bounce around and make all kinds of squeaks when he bites them. Which is only cute the first time because he's got a pretty powerful bite. He was bred for it so we have to respect it while teaching him it's not okay to eat us. Only strangers that are bad, bad people.
Then when he is finished, this is what he does best...
He's a total mama's boy. I spared you the beauty of myself by having Ty take a close up. He was laying on me last night while I watched television. Sigh... how cute is that????????


And because he is so darn cute and prefers to sleep with someone, he didn't want to sleep in his kennel last night. Instead, he ended up being curled up against my neck all night. In bed. With Ty and I. Smack dab in the middle.

Such a cute pup! I always sing the "making plans for Nigel" from XTC when I think about your pup. LOL
