Will you be taking him to the Vet at some point?

I would take him within the next couple of days just for a check up.

Yes, we have an appointment for this Wed.

He was checked out before he left his breeder, but yes, definitely gonna get him checked out again.

We're still figuring out his toilet/ feeding schedule, so far, it's generally feed, 1 hr crate, 5km walk, potty break, inside for playtime thn crate. So far so good.

This reminds me, i owe you guys pics

I'd let him bond to me for a few days first too before I started parading him around the neighborhood... not that I did that, I was too excited to show everyone my new baby girl LOL but I don't think it's a bad idea to let him bond tightly to you first.

Where are our pictures??
