Well Bosley has been home now for one week. Doing great! He’s already growing a lot. He's gained 1.5 lbs since his arrival, and he's only eating a cup of food a day! What a chunk! So we think he's going to exceed the 20 lbs mark considering he's half way there at 9.8 lbs and only 10 weeks old.

Mom and Dad took a few days off with him, but this is his first week alone while we are at work. Deprived of love for about 5 hours max! He's been well acquainted with friends and family, who all want to puppy-sit (lucky us!). He’s found his potty spot in the house, that we are trying to discourage him from. We've gone through a bottle of carpet shampoo already, and are thinking of buying stock in "Nature's Miracle" cleaner.

Everyone said it would be like having a baby, and it is. Jesse has been really great about getting up with him at 2:30am and taking him potty. And we have to make sure nothing is on the ground or it gets eaten (needless to say he's not given free range in mom's bedroom!) And we’ve learned to take power naps while he’s sleeping too.

He has the biggest heart, always shares his time well between mom and dad. He’ll play with one of us for a while, then run to the next to smother with kisses and his rolly-polly self. He loves to chase the cat and play with her toys, and Stella’s warmed up to him too. He’s seen his sister Harley a few days this week, and hopes to see Maddie sometime soon too.
