Diesel's new home

We were able to get Diesel on Monday, and it's been quite the adjustment for everyone involved, especially on Diesel's part.. He used to get wild with his siblings, biting, playing, and acting tough. Now it seems he's most interested in playing with my feet. For some reason he thinks it's totally OK to clamp down on my feet. The dude has some pretty sharp teeth. We've got him a few play toys and he likes to bite them, but not as much as he likes my feet! He's going to be an inside dog, so we've started the process of house training him. He's been doing pretty good so far with only a couple of accidents. He spends the nights in the kennel, and takes a trip outside every three hours throughout the night.

6 weeks

Diesel came for a visit today. He still hasn't moved in with us yet. It's going to be a pretty unusual week for us and we didn't want him to change his mind once he got here. We're all excited to have him join our home and hope he's just as excited. Here he is on the left with his sister. The one I call Shakira.

5 weeks old-

We decided to visit Diesel one more time before bringing him home in a week. We thought it would be good for him and more importantly the girls. Diesel was fine, very playful and energetic. The girls? Not so much. They mostly hung out on the trampoline, out of reach from the ferocious little guy. Diesel seemed to have doubled in size from a week ago. Here are some pics of him and his sister.

The Puppy-

Well, it's official like a referee with a whistle. We're getting a puppy named Shaq Diesel. He was born Aug 12th with 8 siblings. His mom is a rottweiler, and his dad is a boxer. We've never had a dog, and our 3 girls are terrified of them.....This could get interesting! Here is his mom the rottweiler.
