Harvey. 28 07 Thurs.

Pup has a name! He is now, officially, Harvey. Harv for short. Today was a rapid lesson in dealing with a puppy and I am now exhausted. We started the day cleaning puppy poop and I suspect we will end it in similar fashion. Ash seems to have got him into a good habit of going on the training mats though, so thats positive. His aim was less convincing with me…

We went through a few good cycles of eat, play, sleep, pee, poop. He’s a big fan of running after me but is yet to be convinced by puppy treats. We went for a tram trip to visit Ash at work. He was great and an immediate crowd favourite. Naturally. Ash and I took a walk to get a smoothie and he had all the girls at the smoothie store swooning. What a hero. Came home, Harv had some lunch and had a good long nap after watching some TV. When Ash got home from work they had some quality bonding time and we FaceTimed all the family. He’s the newest member of the Reid-Ross/Greenleaf clan and has been welcomed with vigour by all and sundry. Just cleaned up 2 poops in the space of 10 minutes. Good metabolism.

Day one adventures, over.
