I'm settling in

Soba has done a lot this week. It started by going to the vet on Sunday. He is 7 weeks old and he weighed in at a whopping 5 lbs! For some reason, that does not stop him from barking at the 80 lb laborador next door. I'm not sure he appreciated the anal probe he got when they took his temperature but he passed his checkup with flying colors. Later that day, we tried to give him his first bath. As you might have guessed, he didn't appreciate that very much and we got our first "shiba scream" and both of us also got very wet in the process.

He's a pretty good puppy. Housebreaking has gone pretty well with only a couple accidents. I'm not sure if it's because he likes Cindy better but for some reason, his only accidents have been when I am around. Doh! The only thing he absolutely despises is when we crate him at night. Some pretty loud whimpering (enough that I close all the windows so people don't call the cops) since he doesn't like to be alone but he is getting more used to it. He's now playing with more toys. The lobster is still his absolute favorite but as you can see in the pic below, he doesn't mind gnawing on some rawhide.

Enjoy the pics and we'll again end with one of his signature poses .... passing out on his side, this time on the sofa.
