PUPPY!

[wefeelgroove]

We went and got Zam yesterday morning! He's so cute! Just like a real baby, he sleeps all the time. :) He gets really active when he's awake, though- he likes to play tug-of-war with a rope toy we got him and he barks at rubber balls. He's afraid of the hardwood floor in the kitchen- he took one step and slid on it and when we tried to get him to come to us (he's already figured that one out) he started crying because he was too scared to move. He likes to find dark places to sleep in, even if that means cramming his head under the couch.

Other than the "come" command he's already learned where we keep his water bowl and he's sort of learning his name. He likes to chew on your fingers, and even though we'll have to break him of that it's just so cute right now. :)

I just went outside a little while ago with him and I have about 500 new misquito bites. There's almost a cloud of them outside, and we're guessing they're coming from the neighbors' yard because they have a swimming pool they never use but always keep uncovered for some reason. Zam was itching a lot today and my mom thinks it's flea bites but it has to be all of those freaking misquitos.

We've already got a lot of pictures of him (most of them are him sleeping). I'll see if I can scan them and find some place to post them. :)

I can't remember what breed you said he was, but he'll prolly just naturally stop the nibbling on fingers. Lilli, my dog, did that when we got her... all the time! I thought it kinda hurt cuz puppies have sharp teeth, but my sister used to let her knaw on her fingers all the time. We gave her toys to chew and she just eventually stopped biting on us. More than likely it is just a teething thing because they lose their puppy teeth so fast. Good luck with Zam! I wanna see pics, I bet he's a cutie! They always are at that age. ;)
