Thank you, everyone, for all of the congratulations!

Lefty had an interesting first night. He was a bit of a pickle because he wanted up on the bed instead of on his little bed beside ours. He would try jumping up discreetly and settling down quickly and quietly--as if he thought we wouldn't notice! (Got to give him credit for being clever!) Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep, but I think he just needs some time to settle in and learn boundaries. The bed is the one place he can't go, so I don't think it'll be too hard.

This morning he was just fine and didn't fuss when I left. I gave him the run of the house, which I'm not sure I should have done, but I wanted to at least try it. He has his "New Dog" exam at the vet this Saturday, so he has a couple of days to settle down.

I'm really excited and can't wait to go home and play with him! Thanks again and I hope to post pics soon--meanwhile I also need to get caught up on YOUR kids!
