Thanks to the Lewiston Schlax clan for the Bo items! Super cute. More pics coming soon.

Whoever sent the “Bo” stuff from Amazon- please identify yourself! There was no packing slip in the box. You are right… Atticus does look a little like the First Dog!!
He is doing well. Sleep is good. Knowing where to relieve himself is okay. Nipping is better. First puppy class on Friday!

Happy Birthday Aunt Paula. E decided to learn how to ride a bike on your special day. I made a quick video of some of her best rides. You can see it here.
E was a real trooper. She stuck to it even though she fell down a few times.
The vet said that Atticus was in excellent health and was well cared for during his first 8 weeks. He helped with weeding outside today until he fell asleep in the grass.

We picked up Atticus in the Quad Cities yesterday at the airport. He was understandably a little scared. I was surprised by all the Fabio style hair. Above, Liz is doing one of the personality tests to see if he has an aggressive personality. You can see that Atticus has no problem being pampered. Once we got him home, his little stub of a tail was wagging.
We took him out at 11 for his last outside time. Then he slept in his crate in our room. He slept until about 5 AM when we took him out again. Then he came back to his crate in our room for an hour or so. If this is the pattern, that’s easy! Let’s hope so. We have taken him out a lot this morning already, but no accidents in the house or car yet.
Not much else going on. In a couple of hours, J and I will take him to the vet for a checkup and some shots. Liz and E will meet us there after gymnastics. Below are some pics from this morning.
