Puppy Love

On Friday we welcomed little Fenway Gallagher into our home and hearts. He is a 6 week old purebred weimaraner puppy and we named him after Fenway park, home of the Boston Red Sox. He has surprised us with his intelligence and ability to learn so quickly. We have found ourselves putting all of our time and energy researching, training, exercising, playing and most importantly loving the little guy! Weimaraners have a reputation for being hyper active dogs with a dominating personality. We are working so hard to make sure Fenway does not fall into this stero-type by working with him on socialization, and keeping him very well exercised. We are also challenged in the fact that we live in a condo on the 4th floor which requires us incorporating the idea of holding his business when we are in the elevator going down to the grass outside. He has done excellent with his potty training and everyone keeps saying it will get easier as the days go on... I can only hope!

I never really understood how much time and energy goes into raising a proper pup. When you are a kid its all fun and games having a new dog in the house, never realizing all the time and energy your mom puts into caring for the new addition. We are very lucky that I am home right now full time, able to give Fenway the attention that he needs. I honestly feel like a new mom waking up 2 or 3 times a night to take him outside, then I find myself zombie like for the first few hours in the morning. Not to mention I am always covered in puppy slime, poop and pee! HaHa but I know that it will all be worth it in a few months when Fenway is the best Weimaraner in the city! I am very thank full for all of our friends and family who have given us great training advice and support we could not do this with out them! Here are a few photos of Mr. Fenway and I hope they make your day a little brighter because he has filled our lives with such joy!
