It's been nearly a week since I brought Teddy home. He's adjusting to life without his two sisters and mother. He has taken to his crate with ease and is doing fairly well on the potty training, only a handful of accidents. He's even made friends with one of my cats, little Miss Mooch. My other cat, B, is still a little bit nervous and unsure but he'll come around.

I'm having a lot of fun with him, learning about him and his little quirks, like how he tosses his bone into the air several times before he sits down to chew it, how he won't eat dry food unless it has a little bit of wet food mixed in, how he snores, figuring out that he loves squeaky toys The food gave me a fit the first few days when he would not eat.

He handled the vet and the last of his shots well. He can be stubborn, especially when he's on the leash and I want to go one way and he wants to roll in the grass or eat something that he shouldn't.

The only issue is he loves to bark and I need to stop that. Due to my work schedule, I either have to walk him early in the morning, around 4am or late at night, around 11pm and I do not want wake my neighors. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
