He is a very sweet little man.I was walking him earlier around the apartments and he ran up to a guy that was very obviously going to work, but, he wanted to pet him anyway. He loves people, which I'm grateful for. And, he chases my cat around, who's only seven months old. I'm hoping they become pals. At least, from the looks of it, Lock (our bengal) will tolerate him. He's not scratched at or bit at him, though, just hissed and ran. I think probably the hardest thing for me to train the puppy will be to stay off the furniture because the cat goes up there. But, I'm adamant about that, so, I'll do whatever it takes. I thought it might be better to leave a tv or something on for him, but, I didn't last night because I wasn't sure. BUt, I'll try it tonight. We kept him in a separate room from us, though, because we had to be able to sleep, but, I will try tonight leaving him crated by our bed. We'll see if that helps any. And, yeah, I definitely remember not to give them any attention when they're crying like that. As soon as I would go into the room where he was crated, though, he'd stop. So, I'd open up the door and leash him to take him out. But, I'll definitely try the tv tonight for him. And, either put him in our room also, or try that separately tomorrow night. We'll try both, though. And, we wore him out last night. He fell asleep on my arm and I just moved him to his crate. It's strange having a dog again. I'd forgotten how they always want to be by your side. Not that that is a problem, but, it's just different. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'll post a picture in just a minute. I have to pick one!
