Hello Everyone,

Well, it's been about about 5 weeks since I picked up my nw puppy. I did a lot of research, both on this website and others, about raising a puppy. Caine spends his days in a ex-pen in the basement with an automatic dog feeder that dispenses his lunch everyday at the same time. His evenings are spent seeing how many new cuts and puncture wounds he can inflict on me and learning how to be a member of the family.

I'm proud to say he hasn't had a accident in the house in over a month and he hasn't defecated in his ex-pen in over a month, which is very surprising to me.

He sits on command (with food or not), sits at the door before going in and we're learning the down command now.

I am simply amazed at how well he's adjusting to his new life. So, if I can do it, I know anybody can.

I owe this to Ed's videos and you guys.... and a lot of patience and consistency, of course.

Most of these pictures are at least 2-3 weeks old now, but here's my Caine.

Waiting for his food... getting a little too anxious. Look how big those feet are... he's going to be a monster

Well, gotta go, Caine is demanding my undivided attention.

Good luck everyone.
