Sherlock

So, we got out Doggie! His name is Sherlock and he is 36 days old today. Oh, and he is the cutest of them all!!

He is my first dog EVER and I am realizing a lot of things that are fun when you have someone to take care of. It brings a joy that makes all the work rewarding. I can now see why so many women have no qualms about quitting their careers and other types of 'life' to pursue full time mothering.

It has been essential that we have a housekeeper at home all the time. Else, the little thing is SO tiny that we couldn't possibly leave him alone. Thank fully, our person is so enticed by Sherlock that he doesn't leave him even for a second- to the extent that he refuses to take a bath after we have left!

This is what we wanted and hoped for.

Right now, we have cordoned off an area in our room for him and also make a small sheltered bed. (He seems to prefer a sheltered area- he keeps crawling under our legs and going to sleep)

Also, he seems to have a humongous appetite! He keeps getting hungry every few hours! For a month old puppy he is pretty smart. He has already learnt its name and seems to also understand a bit of where he should "go".

All our friends are in love with him also. This was important for us as atleast initially we will be unable to leave him alone so will have to take him to atleast our close friend's parties.
