Doc,

Thanks for the information. This definitely helps to put things in perspective. A pup is only a pup for a short time and I need to let him grow up and learn.

I'm amazed at how well he's adjusted. He's learning real quick which toys are his to play with.................and that he's not allowed to chew on my slippers, which seem to be his favorite!

He slept through the night last night without having to go out. So far he's only had two accidents in the house. We've been religiously taking him out when he wakes up from naps and after he eats. He's even gone to the back door and yipped to let us know he wants to go out. Housetraining is going real well..........so far!

I've been working with him twice a day, tossing a roller down the hallway, which is ~20 feet long. This morning he made 6 perfect retrieves, delivered to hand, and was real eager to keep going. I remembered what you said about stopping while they still wanted more and decided to quit until this evening.

Anyway, thanks again for the "calibration". Time to head to the "Lazy H".

Talk to you later!

P.S. I'll try and get some photos posted tonight.
