Thought you might like to see how Max is making himself comfortable. We call him our little cuddle bug because he always wants to be on our lap.  At this moment all 4 of us are squished on the couch together - lol. First time we've let him up here and it certainly won't be the last from what we've learned about him. :)

I think he is settling in really well. He is super calm for a 5 month old pup.  House training is going pretty well. He definitely knows what I want him to do when I tell him to go potty. Best part was your advice about covering his crate. He is way more relaxed in there.  Thank you so much for that tidbit. Last night he went in there all by himself at 9:30 - I guess we tuckered him out too early.  When my alarm went off this morning he was just quietly waiting for us.  Today he spent two nap times with no barking.

Thanks again Connie & Luke.
