Ok, PETCO screwed up big time for us. We went there last Saturday on time for Marley's supposed 1st Puppy training class. Guess what??? The trainer called in sick, Petco did not call us to let us know and they even claim that they don't have any training scheduled for puppies to start that day.
Very unprofessional. I do not want to have anything to do with them, EVER.......
I will try to get Marley into a boarding school for puppy training starting next weekend.
We will visit Pupsi this afternoon and see if its a good place to brin him.

Marley and Us - Part 7
Marley goes to puppy school today!!!
It's Marley's first day in puppy training school. We enrolled him at Petco. We hope for good results. He's a very active young boy and he needs to calm down a little bit. He has mastered sit so far but nothing else.

Marley and Us - Part 6
Marley had a successful first Vet visit yesterday. He had his scheduled shots done and the doctor thinks that he is in good shape although she warned us that we need to watch Marley's growth carefully and mak sure that we do not overfeed him. Imagine, he grew 7 lbs in 3 weeks. That's a lot.
I also got a call from the Vet this morning notifying me that his fecal test results were negative for parasites. They are still asking me to go pick up a dose of dewormer though to make sure that we get rid of any parasites that were not detected during the exam. Just precautionary though.
I'll keep you posted.

Marley & Us - Part 5
Today will be Marley's first trip to the Vet. I sure hope everything is well with him. His appointment is at 4pm. He has grown a lot, from 6 lbs @ 7 weeks old to 13lbs now @ 10 weeks old.
You can see the big bones start to develop. Muscles are starting to form at the right places. And I'm not sure where he is putting all the food that he is eating. He eats about 2 1/2 cups of dry food a day and he seems like he hasn't been fed for a whole week everytime he sees food in the morning. He would always be jumping up and down waiting for you to serve him his breakfast.
Kaye said that she will take some pictures of Marley later.

Marley and Us: Part 4
Today is the last day of Marley's 2nd deworming. He is getting bigger each day. We did not weigh him today but I think that he is already over 10 lbs. He's only been with us for a week and a half and he has gained 4 lbs. He is much taller and has so much energy.
Kaye gave him a bath today. He is getting better at getting baths. He doesn't whine too much. I still don't want to bring him to the dog run to burn all his energy as he only had 1 parvo shot as of today. His next one will be at 10 weeks old which is 2 weeks from now. Once he gets it, I will probably let him play there as he will have 2/3 protection by then.
We have not taken any picture of him lately so I'll try to bug Kaye to take some pics of Marley. By the way, we received his AKC Registration papers and Pedigree a couple of days ago.

Marley & Us; Part 3
It's been a week since we got Marley and he gained 2.8 lbs as of last night. We also switched his diet to Natural Balance. He seems to have more energy with this new food that we are giving him.
He knows how to "SIT" and "STAY" now. Although sometimes he does not want to stay for too long and would whine when we ask him to stay for too long. Another funny thing is, when he knows that we have a treat in our hand he would sit even before we give him the order.
He likes everybody and you can not walk him around the apartment complex without him wanting to be petted by people that he sees. he would always want you to bring him closer to other people so that he can play with them. We'll try to post some pictures later.

Marley and Us: Part 2
We weighed Marley today and he is now 9 lbs. He was 7 lbs when we got him. He is growing fast. It's only been 3 days since we got him. We changed his food today from Beneful to Natural Balance which is a premium brand and is supposed to be much better.
He is also learning to go to the training pads to potty. He just needs to aim better. All the hard work is already showing some encouraging results.

Marley and Us
Today is Marley's 2nd full day with us. He was much better with the containment that we made in the kitchen. He does not whine for 2 hrs anymore like what he did yesterday after I setup the gate. He still whines and barks to try and get us to come to the kitchen with him but not as much.
He is starting to play a lot with his toys. He is also sleeping in his crate now. And the biggest surprise is that he did not mind when Kaye brushed his teeth for the first time today (no more bad breath).
He is now 7 weeks and 1 day old. I will try to post updates as often as I can.

Meet Marley
It's sad to say but we had to give up Toby. He has some temperament issues that it is better for him to be with a family who has had previous experience in handling a Shar Pei. We thought that it would be good for both Toby and us to part ways.
Anyway, enough of the bad news. The good news is, we got Marley. He is a seven week old yellow labrador retriever. He seems to be a very nice puppy with the right attitude and temperament. So without further ado, here is Marley!!!
