New SERE dates....and more of Chaz

It didn't take long for Chaz to be my favorite thing to blog about....he's getting more personality every single day that we have him.

To justify posting more videos of him playing, I thought I'd write that my SERE school start date has changed to 7 September. That means I get a 4 day pass this weekend...which is awesome. Now to the interesting stuff....him playing with his favorite toys: 2 worn out old socks.

Chaz starts to play

He's getting a lot more comfortable around us, which makes him even more fun to have. Here's a video of him playing with my foot.

And when we were finished....

Chaz!

Meet Chaz...He's the Sheltie puppy we drove down to Florida to pick up today. He's about 16 weeks old and was the pick of the litter by someone else -- but he didn't work out for them. As you can probably tell, he's already a fun guy to have around.

Johnni and I spent the morning and first part of the afternoon bringing him back home, and have spent the time since playing with him and trying to start on housebreaking him. For those who haven't housebroken a puppy, it mostly consists of us playing with him until he finds the right spot on the carpet to pee...then we scare him half to death when we tell him "NO!" and pick him up to take him outside...finally we clean up and start the cycle over again. I guess we'll have to take him out more often. These dogs are supposed to be smart, so hopefully he picks it up pretty quickly.
