"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx

Sorry, a little short on the details, huh? I was a tad tired last night.

It's a he, just barely 8 weeks old, still unnamed (his foster mom called him Rudolph, which is just... no.). Quiet and calm when not caught up in the typical puppy-go, but he loves to chew anything he can get his teeth on. His mom was a "Red Heeler"; dad unknown, but based on coloring, coat, and body and leg length, the shelter was guessing he's part Dachshund.

Very smart. In just over 24 hours with us, he has figured out what "No!" means, how to climb the stairs that he had no clue about at first, that standing next to the door will get him walked so that he can poop (he's not house broken yet so there has been pee incidents, but he has figured out the poop part), where he's allowed to walk outside, and that he's not allowed to eat the cat food (but that he can get one mouthful in before we catch him, so the food has been moved), chew the carpet or furniture other than the cat tree, or go under the couch. That's a lot of learning for a baby.

The cats are coping remarkably (scarily) well. They keep a little bit of distance unless he's asleep, but they're more curious then anything else. The puppy wants to bark and chase them of course, but the Meep hissed him off without much trouble. The boys ran at first but rapidly discovered that they're safe as long as they're at least 12 inches off the ground (their normal preferred position anyway). So they stare down at him, he stares up, and then he falls asleep.

Darwin could care less.
