First Night Survival!

Saxon did really well. He slept most of the night and so did we. Of course, we were all exhausted from the excitement. I brought him outside around 5:45 am to potty, which he didn't, and put him back in his gated area, but he was having none of that. It was time to get up. You know, it's amazing the amount of work you can get done when you get up at 6 am on Saturday morning.

We've had a good day so far, giving him lots of attention, taking him out often to potty, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We have a long way to go in that department. He's afraid of horses and lawnmowers. I'm sure he'll get used to them though.

Only thing I'm worried about is that he has not eaten. I have some of the food he was on and I don't want to introduce new food yet. He will eat a treat. I'm assuming he just needs an adjustment period, then he will settle down and start eating. I just leave it out for him. Any comments on this, did any of you experience this also?

Anyway he is a big hit with everyone and has a great personality.

Its sounds pretty typical to me.And,what a CUTIE.I remember having to sit with Kitty and coaxing her to eat-dont worry,he will eat when hungry.To this day, Kitty(1yr.) does not like the lawnmower,and comes in the house when its doing its job.Have fun and dont worry.

Comment by Megan and Penelope on June 14, 2008 at 5:15pm: Oh, he is soooo cute! He looks a little like Penelope but more white and black on the face. He probab;y won't eat very much the first couple of days. He is just getting used to everything in he new home. He's much too busy exploring everything. If he won't eat anything, I'd sit with him to make sure he eats a little. I did that with Penny her first couple of days and she did fine on her own after that! Good luck, I can't wait to see more pics!
