Coming home from the Breeder: Yes, a dog crate can fit in a Prius.
Home
Potty I'm trying to follow Susan Garret's advice about taking him out on lead to the same spot to go potty. Unfortunately, Parsnip is so distracted by his new world - every car, person, dog, sound - is just so distracting. I barely even got a sniff today, and he drank a bunch of water when we got home from the breeder.
Bedtime
How I planned:
So I resolved to NOT sleep in the room with him.
How it went: When I went to my room, he started crying. And he cried for like... 35 minutes.
I slept on the floor for the first part of the night. he settled right down once i was there but then i moved to my room around 3am and he was chill the rest of the night and the morning. and holy shit, i have never seen a dog eat food so fast. 😆 He FINALLY peed. Like 10 gallons (outside) and when we got back in he was like all jumping on me and crying for food. So I gave him about half in a bowl, which was gone in 9 seconds. He’s so obsessed with food. I’m trying to play a game where I throw some food into his crate and he gets it, but half the time he stays focused on my hand that thew the food 🤦🏼♂️
