We finally picked up Bruce, our much anticipated GS puppy. He was amazing in the 4 hour car ride, he only whined when he needed to go to the bathroom, and we stopped and let him out, and he went, despite really hating the snow. Last night I slept on the floor with him, and he went right to sleep cuddled up next to me, and I set an alarm every few hours, and he would wake up to it, start whinning, I'd take him outside with me and he'd go right away, then I'd set him down on the blanket, and he'd fall asleep right as I would lay down again.

He is VERY vocal know that he has been home though, he will just start whinning a lot, and I never know if he is just doing it, or if he wants something from me. Sometimes I'll cuddle him and he'll stop, sometimes I'll give him a ball and he'll stop, sometimes he'll never stop. So it may just be the vocal GS puppy.

But as promised, here are some pictures of him I took yesterday and today.

Yes haha! He follows me everywhere, I was worried him and the cats might not like each other, but he has 0 interest in them. He actually jumped over one of the cats to get to me, all he cares about is being at my side.

Thanks everybody! He stole my heart as soon as I saw him. I drove the way back, because it was snowing, and my friend didn't feel confident driving my car in the snow, and I kept looking at him, and he'd look at me with those puppy dog eyes, and I almost lost it a few times. He's so cute it causes my pain.

My husband was working out of town last week, so wasn't with me when I picked him up on Wednesday. So he met him last night, and is absolutely in love with him. They are best buds.

I just thought I would update with this picture I took this morning, of his one ear really trying to come up! It's so adorable! So far he is house trained, knows his name, sit, and lay. I'm super impressed with this little bundle of joy!

Hello
We picked up my new baby Friday. He was born nov 2. He also whines a lot and follows me around, the first two days he had no interest in my cat but now chases him. He also does not whine as much.
Haha, my pup whines less now, although I'm not sure if it is him whinning less actually, or I just got better at deciding what he wanted when he whinned haha, estimating how much play he needs to be tired, ect. He still follows me around a lot, he doesn't chase our cats unless they run. Which for the most part they don't, unless they get spooked.
