So...we finally got our puppy! Maxwell came on Monday. The boys were so excited to get him. Aiden kept saying, "Mommy...this is the first dog that you have let us have." He was soooo happy and soooo excited. He was smiling from ear to ear when Maxwell got here. Riley was also thrilled to get his puppy. He has been so helpful with him. He has proven that he is very responsible with him. He wanted to help take him for walks and wants to take him outside to go to the bathroom all the time. Yesterday, he wanted to do this all by himself. When Jamma said,"NO" he got angry and couldn't understand why he couldn't do it by himself. Last night was kind of a different story. Maxwell was crying a lot. He missed his mommy. We had him in his kennel for the night. He was crying, whining and whimpering all night. Aiden was laying next to me trying to fall asleep. He couldn't because of the noise. Finally Aiden said, "Mommy, I knew this wasn't such a good idea to get a puppy!" He wanted him to stop whimpering and barking. Aiden finally fell asleep and didn't hear him the rest of the night. Today Aiden and Riley were very helpful again. They love their new puppy! Tonight we are trying to find a quieter place for him to sleep. Every where he goes, Aiden says, "that's a bad idea. I can still hear him!" We'll see how the night goes.
