Leo

This is Leo. He is my new best friend, biggest nuisance and the newest family member of the Davis home. Sadly this is the best picture I have of him right now, I'm the worst at taking pictures.

Leo is now about 13 weeks old. He has a super mellow and incredibly stubborn personality. He is a super fast learner. Faster than I've seen any other dog. He learned sit within the first few days we had him. He's only had 3 accidents in the house! I mean wow. I was expecting to basically have no carpet at the end of the house training, but he learned really quickly that outside is where it's at! Thank goodness.

He has yet to sleep through the night, and although he now doesn't have to pee in the middle of the night, he gets lonely, so he needs to be reassured that we are still there in the room with him before he can fall asleep again. It's sort of adorable when you think about it, but at 2 a.m. it's not at all.

He loves running with me, and the park is our regular morning spot. He sort of eggs you on to go faster because he looks at me and then picks up his speed. He doesn't have as much endurance yet, but it's getting bigger and bigger every day.

He is just the sweetest when it comes to naps, he loves to cuddle and be near you.

He is growing so fast! The harness in this picture is already too small for him, and he's only been with us 3 weeks. It's crazy how fast they grow. I like that he's getting bigger and getting a little more independence, but I also really love this sweet puppy stage.

His mild temper is awesome, because he almost never barks. He doesn't get crazy hyper, and he loves to just chill. I mean, he's a puppy so he has to get his wiggles out, but he's a very laid back dog, and it's been awesome

Leo is my new baby, and he's almost been a sort of birth control in a way. Taking care of another animal is a lot of work and it takes a lot out of you, and I know that a human would be so much more work. But he is good practice to test out patience as parents.

I'll try to get better pictures of him as he is growing so fast, but like I said, I forget.
