Mr. Peck

So, our neighbor to the right of us has taken to calling Atticus, "Mr. Peck" after the actor who played Atticus Finch on screen. I think it's rather fitting, too. Maybe he'll have multiple names...

Things are going well. We're all a little tired, but enjoying each other. David built a beautiful "doggie door" for the back pantry where Atticus spends the day and night. It's a lot easier to handle than the pet gates we were using and much more stylish! He's a pro!

If anyone has any good tricks on how to curb nipping, send them our way. We look like we play in rose bushes!

Getting acquainted

As they say, "the more, the merrier!"

All is well here on Plymouth Rd. Atticus has had a very successful week in the world of house training, crate training, "doing your business," sitting and learning when close is too close, according to Nyx.

Aside from the normal puppy habits of chewing and having to go ALL THE TIME, he is a very well- behaved dog and will most definitely be at the top of his class when we begin the puppy manners class in a few months!

Atticus walked/was carried over to see Maeve, Clare and Stephen this morning and did very well socializing with someone not much taller than he. Stephen took lots of pictures and I will post them soon.

I think it's time to "do some business". Hi to all!
