puppy care

[Selkie]

Sounds like a normal, healthy puppy you got there, Badger. You might want to keep him in the crate more when you're at work. At that age, they don't understand the concept of holding it because peeing/pooping makes them feel better. He's still an infant, for all intents and purposes. I know how hard it is at this stage and it is exhausting for the humans. Sending you lots of good karma.

He sounds smart---he's not messing in his crate. He'll likely catch on quickly, once he has more bladder capacity and an increased attention span.

if I were actually keeping him longer, I'd take him to puppy kindergarten and he'll learn some skills on becoming an awesome dog. We had a good day today.

I've been calling him Bubbie (Bubba):

Awwww, look at that face! He's a lucky boy to have you taking care of him -- hope things are better for you, Badger.

OMG! Bubbie is so cute! How is the potty training going?

Bubba's gone to his new home! He never got the hang of potty training at all, so til the end I was just chasing after him with paper towel.

But the rescue organizer noticed a huge increase in his confidence, so I'm happy to know I did my bit in socializing him. He was very popular out on walks, everyone thought he was just the cutest.

Puppies are SO much work, I'm exhausted, but it was a great experience nonetheless. I'm going back to seniors now

That's great that he's found a home! Ya done good.
