Thanks everyone I really love the little guy, but I don't want him to bond to me, I want him to bond to my mom so I am only doing the "dirty" stuff like giving him baths, his grooming sessions, making him go outside to potty even when it's raining. My mom and Ritz are getting really close. My mom is absolutely in love with him, and Ritz and Cassie are getting along great. Graham does not like Ritz (surprise, surprise ) but Ritz & Cassie play and cuddle so that's all that is important. Ritz had his first vet appointment and he is healthy but his tummy was loaded with Giardiah (sp?) but he's on daily wormer for 7 days. And puppy breath...Ahhh I finally get to smell puppy breath! It's a beautiful thing
