Finn *takes like .2 steps in their direction*
Chickens: cluckcluckCLUCKCLUCKCLUCK

Same with our dogs!

Omg Finn slept threw the WHOLE NIGHT!!! He didn’t get up once! We took him out this morning, but still!!!!!
And he’s already back asleep after playing for like an hour

He did slip out of his collar last night (he’s sleeping on a tie on his bed next to my parents bed) so he did have to sleep in his harness.

That's very impressive! They usually can hold throughout the night at around 4 months of age. Such a good boy.

It may depend on how long the "night" is.

6 hours vs. 8 hours vs. 10 hours can be a very different thing for a small bladder!

10ish-6? He may have been overtired from his big day yesterday, so we'll see how it goes today.

Finn's first day here was great!! He has zero accidents (we were good about taking him out after eating and when he woke up from a nap) and did not chew on anything that he wasn't supposed to. His favorite toys are tennis balls (for chasing) sticks (for gnawing, but not inside!) one of my DIY ones, his hedgehog, a ropey woven rope thing, and his shark. He hasn't barked at all the whole time that he's been here, and someone must have done base training with him, because he already understands the word 'No' (used mostly for 'no, don't eat chicken poop'). He hasn't jumped at all, and isn't super mouthy. When he's mouthed my hands, I"ve just said 'no' and stopped playing. He is SUPER cuddly- fell asleep on me several times. He met the chickens (through the run) and while he was curious at first, once he got used to them, he COMPLETELY IGNORED THEM!! IT WAS INSANE!!! I AM THRILLED!!! THEY CARE MORE ABOUT HIM THAN HE DOES ABOUT THEM!!!



With the cat, they've mostly just ignored each other so far- there hasn't been any sort of confrontation. The few times that Finn has gone to sniff him, Duncan (cat) has just walked out of sight and Finn was like "shoot, I've been bamboozled'' and didn't really follow.

He did end up having a bath because he spit up some on the car ride, but is now not stinky, clean, and very fluffy.

congratulations BC! Finn sounds awesome

I suppose? Again, the only puppy that I've had significant experience with is ND, and she's going to be much smaller than Finn from breed
Friends' lab puppy was smaller, I think???

I swear he's already grown since yesterday
