At 9am, I rolled out of bed and thought Wow, we’ve had a reasonable first night. Walked the 3 yards to the bathroom, passing Simon’s door on the way … No Simon!?! Wandered downstairs with Coco and Willy barging their way past, passed the living room to find Simon camped out with pillows and duvet on the living room floor ….. with Sweep beside him on Coco’s mattress‼‼! I wasn’t best pleased. Simon had heard a whimper (probably a puppy dream) and let Sweep out of his crate so he could keep him company. So much for the two hours settling him in his crate. Argh! Kinda wish I’d had the camera handy now!
Sweep had his first walk today … down to the crossroads and back. He seems to like walkies and did the typical daft pup thing of trying to be everywhere all at once. It’s odd walking a little’un again as I’m used to biggies. Sweep’s quite confident on the lead and has to have a few reminders that he should walk at my pace and preferably not walk between my legs without warning me first. Saves us ending up in a heap!
We stopped at Harvey’s gate but unfortunately he wasn’t in so Sweep will have to meet Harvey later in the week.
The rest of Sunday was a constant round of chasing Ben and Willy around and trying to get them to play. They were having none of it. Having tried his luck, Sweep finally gave up and played with his Kong (which had a chicken Bonio hidden inside). He managed to sneak into the middle of his new ‘brothers’ too. Good job the mattress is big!
All in all, I think little Sweep has firmly planted all four paws under our table and has made himself at home. He isn’t backwards in coming forwards either. But the most important thing is we love him. He’s a little star and brightens our lives immeasurably. Don't think he's very impressed with me trying to take his pic though!
