1 month Lui update - because who doesn't love a good portion of Lui?








Officially the longest title I've ever used on my blog.
But I just wanted to talk about how the first month with Lui has been. He quickly settled in, spend a few days keep searching for his old family by the fence and reacted whenever children were crying or playing (he came from a home with two kids under 3, and I live in an area with loads of children), which was kind of sad. But within the first week he quickly understood this was his forever home.

He only had accidents the first two weeks really, he slowly learnt to let me know when he needed to go out. We had 1½ shit weeks where he kept needing to go out during the night, but he's sleeping through the nights now which I'm thankful for.

 I got him a harness, I've always been a supporter of harnesses so he doesn't get his neck damaged, and he HATED it the first day. I put it on him and we went on a walk, and he would flop over in protest. It wasn't because it was tight, I made sure it was a little more loose than it's supposed to so it wouldn't be too uncomfortable. But he just plain refused to walk for bit. He still hates getting it on, but he knows it means walks so everything's fine.

What else. He sometimes sleeps at night in my bed and sometimes doesn't. I meant to not allow him in bed at night but after 2 weeks of having 30 minutes fights with him at 4 in the morning, I was a bad mother and gave in. He still loves his crate, I've put a blanket over it because he loves sleeping in dark places, but sometimes he just wants to sleep on the spare duvet at the end of the bed. Will be fun when Sean comes to visit and they have to fight for space, hihi.

His left ear is still up and his right ear is still down. I hope so much it stays like this because it's bloody adorable. He's starting to lift his leg when he pees, and it's not always successful, which gives me a good laugh when we go for walks. He tends to try and lift it up but then loses balance, it's the greatest thing ever!¨

Last Saturday I received his registration papers and got them filled in and send off. Normally it takes 3 weeks to get the papers back again, but it makes it feel so much more real, he'll be registered under my name!! My puppy!!!!

I think that's all to be honest. Maybe some tmi with the pee leg but he's adorable and I'll want to look back at in when he's 10 years old and a grumpy old dog. Hope you find him just as lovely and adorable as I do :-D
