First Week with Dusty

The first week with Dusty was definitely a learning experience. He had plenty of accidents everywhere in the house. The house also got really dirty. Since the yard wasn't done, Dusty got dirt all over his feet after eliminating, which caused bits of dirt to be everywhere in the house. This drove Kevin c-r-a-z-y. Kevin is a completely neat freak and his home is his temple. Any disorganization or uncleanliness was detrimental to his sanity. Figuring out a balance between Kevin's clean standards and Dusty's dirty habits will be a challenge, but we've been working toward a solution. A lot of it is compromise though.

Here are some pictures of Dusty's first week:

The diamond on his back is really cool.

This is one of the cutest pictures I have:

I found out really quickly that Dusty loves to play with fabric-like things. Whenever we gave him a toy, he would chew off the tag first. That is why we thought the rope-toy would be perfect. He did end up loving that thing:

This was my first time brushing Dusty. He was really scared, and didn't like it one bit. Later on, he got use to it:

Aww... poor puppy, he was so scared:

Figuring out Dusty's favorite toys and treats was the hardest part. We would end up going to Petco and buying random things in order to experiment with Dusty's tastes. In the end, his favorite toy ended up being a stuff furry alligator toy. Who knew?
