We're home and I think we brought the Devil with us!!!

OMG....WHAT THE HECK HAVE WE DONE!!!! Hal and I have our cute little bundle of pure HELL!



We picked him up Saturday afternoon from the breeders, spent an hour and a half filling out paper work, asking questions and just visiting. I have to say he's adorable, his little sister is a complete doll with the cutest little face.

That afternoon we went back to Hal's brothers place and hung there for a bit then took off for the game while they babysat little Rio. We arrived back there around 1:30 a.m. and Rio was sound asleep. We thought "Great, we'll put him out for a potty break and he'll just go back to sleep." BOY WERE WE WRONG! Hal had a few beers and a couple of other beverages so he was done and went to bed. Let's just say at 4:00 a.m. I was ready to sell my little bundle of fur to the Asian farmers market!! He was no where near ready for a sleep. I then did what I should have just done 2 hours before I took Rio, the crate, myself and a book downstairs, stuck him in the crate, read a few pages while he really had a spaz then I turned out the light, rolled over and went to sleep while he growled, howled, groaned and whimpered. It sounds like it went on for hours at that point but the little shit was asleep by 4:10 a.m.

At 7:30 a.m. my precious little fur baby woke me up flipping out so I knew he had to do his business. After that there was no way he was going back to sleep so Lori being a sweetheart brought me a hot cup of coffee outside whilst 'Satan' ran around doing his business and playing with Nelson.

I'll be back to finish in a bit.....he's pulling at the laptop cord and needing to go back outside...

Back and it's 10:46, guess what.....it worked. Rio was falling asleep at 10 so we took him outside to play for a bit and he kept laying down on the grass to go to sleep. Brought him in, let him have a really small drink, popped him in his crate and voila...one snoring, sleepin' little pup. Hal's a night owl so he said if Rio wakes up when he comes to bed he'll take him to do his business then put him right back in his crate so he gets his days and nights straightened out.

As Shari says, "He's a little Spitfire!" Cleo actually let him drink out of the water bowl with her tonight and is being a little more tolerant of him once he was played out. We know they'll soon be best buds but for now it's really close supervision.

G'night all, i'm off to dreamland!
