Patton Puppy!

We have a puppy! It took us a little while to get him a featured spot on the blog, but Patton is here in full force. The General arrived in our home on January 22nd and he's been a delight ever since. We named him Patton after General Patton... well, sort of. Allison and I got engaged in Patton Park in Beverly, Mass. The park is named after the General, but we like the name because of the sentimental value (aawwww).
The girl we got him from said that he hadn't been sleeping all the way through the night, but he hasn't woken us up once at night yet! He is our backup alarm in the morning, however. It's actually kind of nice because there's no snooze on him! He's already pretty well potty trained in just 4 weeks. It didn't take him very long to decide that we are his people. He follows us around everywhere and looks for us when we're not in the same room as him. We've wanted a dog for so long, so it's such a blessing to finally have one and for him to be so much fun! So, here are a few pics of some of the fun things he does that make us smile (check out his YouTube videos at the bottom of the blog too!):


Day one... just being cute. He even came in a little camo shirt with a star on it!


The first bath... ha! This still makes us laugh.


The undeniable look... feed me!


In the laundry basket trying to get his giraffe.


Laid out! So funny, puppies are just like little babies in the way they can just sleep in the strangest positions.
