Peritas!!

I got my dog this weekend. His name is Peritas and he's a little under 5 months. He's a little Maltese-- maybe around 3 pounds but he's a spunky little guy and amaingly well behaved. Right now, he's lying down in his crate with the door open while I'm typing. He's only been with me since Saturday but he's already a big part of the household. He's pretty well trained already. He's used to using the puppy pads and he's been really consistent so far. He does a bit of whining when he's alone as all puppies are wont to do but he calms down quickly and amuses himself. I have to get him some new toys. Everything I've purchased for him is all too big. We haven't started training yet-- beyond housebreaking-- because I want him to get settled in his new environment gently but we'll begin with "SIT" today. I'm excited. He's a really good boy.

He's really changed my quality of life in the short time he's been here. I forgot how much I missed having a dog... If I can figure out how to post pictures, I'll post some of him.
