Week number 1 with Ambrose was certainly entertaining. He was very shy for the first few days but the last couple he has really come out of his shell.
Tuesday we visited our vet to introduce Ambrose, they ran some tests and did some shots that he needed. The vet didn't like the fact that Ambrose wasn't being very playful, for a puppy. They gave us some pills and a liquid medicine we have been giving him orally, the vet said he had something that he caught on the farm he was living on, probably from another animal.
Those symptoms have seemed to clear up, in the last 48 hours he has really been a handful, but fun to have around the home and yard. Sure, he is not house broken just yet and it is frustrating when you see him pee and he is looking right at you. We take him outside and we try and wait till he goes again before we bring him inside. That's time consuming and sometimes he doesn't want to go.
Sleeping has been tough too. We have a kennel in our living room for him at night and when we leave. We discovered he can get out of it, so we made some modifications to it. But with the recent increase in his physical activity, we expect him to sleep more at night. He truly enjoys being around Abbi and Elli, whenever they walk by he follows them.
Since he spent all his time outdoors on the farm, he loves being out in the front yard. We noticed that he can fit his head through the bars of the fence. A few times, when people walked by on the sidewalk, he has easily fit his whole body through the fence, getting out of the yard. Hopefully he grows up fast here in the next few weeks and that will be the end of that!
Here are some scenes in the yard playing with some toys. Cousin Riley also makes a funny appearance. Notice the similarities between Ambrose and Riley, young and very interested in everything and anything that catches their attention.
