Going to the pet store, and meeting the mail lady today!

Update on sleeping last night: No, not in the crate. No way, no how. I opted to sleep with him behind the x pen, and he was out before Mark got up the stairs. It took me a bit longer...  But it was worth it for at least two other beings in this house to get some good sleep.

What a day for traveling around - Rhyn went to Pet Supplies Plus in Minneapolis to get his little claws clipped for the very first time - right now they are just tiny bits, but they are sharp.  Rhyn was near napping so it was easy for Katie to clip a little bit off each toe.  Then Rhyn got to check out some of the store (especially the treat aisle) and meet several dogs and quite a few kids.  He got all brave with a couple of the younger dogs; he's quite a confident little chunk.  Not "alpha", just confident. After all, he's never had a bad thing happen in his life yet, so why not be brave and optimistic?

Then - on the way home - we saw our mail lady, so we stopped and introduced our newest family member and she took his photo.  And I have a photo from Lana at Pet Supplies Plus, too!

Rhyn will be 10 weeks old Wednesday, August 17.

And yes, I slept fairly well last night - there's nothing like sleeping with a puppy on the hard floor. Especially when they are wide awake at 4:30 in the morning. It didn't take long for him to go back to sleep, though.
