Samson

The newest addition to our family is this little fur ball! 

He's absolutely perfect!! I cannot get enough of him!! 

We are crate training him and he's doing such a good job!! 

I thought it would be a lot harder for him to get potty trained,

but really it has been a piece of cake.

We just listen to his "whines." Yes, there are multiple.

There's an attention whine, a playful whine, a bathroom whine,

a hurt whine, and an annoying whine. As soon as we were able to decipher

his bathroom whine from the other whines, we were able to 

ignore his other whines and only take him out when he has to use the bathroom. 

This has reduced the amount of whining that he does drastically. 

He sleeps through the whole night without having to use the bathroom.

For the first week or so, he woke up a couple times night, but now he's

getting on our schedule. 

In a way, it's helping us get prepared for a baby. :)

He's starting to nibble and bite us quite a bit,

but we're working with a great dog trainer and 

hopefully he'll stop his biting in no time.

But as for now, a puppy is a puppy. 

It's hard for us to punish this little thing.. 

I mean, could you say no to this this face?

But we know it's necessary to in order for him 

to turn into a good family dog down the road. 

He's started doing something new today though... 

And it's NOT a good thing.

He HUMPS MY LEG!! Only MY leg!!

It's actually really funny, but I put him to a stop immediately.

Yes, we will be breeding this guy when he gets old enough, 

so no, we won't be getting him neutered, 

so hopefully he'll grow out of the humping stage.

I'd DEFINITELY recommend getting a Bernese Mountain Dog. 

They're great dogs, and absolutely adorable!! 

As of right now, these are the two loves in my life.

Until we get our next addition in October!! :)
