The puppy is here to stay. He's been scared of the septic tank pipe in the front yard (barking and circling it).
However, he made a breakthrough today. He can now bite the bucket without running in terror.
Shane keeps encouraging him to dig in the sand. Carrie's worried the two of them will dig up the septic tank.
Carrie keeps telling Shane to quit digging. He accepted part of the instruction and stopped digging around the septic tank.
Shane walked up to me with a shirt full of one of them!
I decided to take a picture before making him unload.
"No goofy faces. Smile for your, Mom. She's not going to be happy to see this."
Loki's normally off leash in the front yard, but he's starting to enjoy the game of chase. That's where he runs gleefully whenever you try to pick up him to go inside.
Luckily, he's easily distracted and lured. I have chased and caught him, but he's going to get much, much faster. I'd rather not train him it's a game.
I like to walk and jog around the yard with him to get his energy out. He fell into a post hole one time!
I helped him out and he blundered into another post hole a couple feet from the first! I laughed even if he didn't.

Loki runs around like crazy while he's awake. He's nippy and hyper, but eventually poops out. Speaking of poop, he has unfortunately had a few accidents on the living room rug. One of them was right next to Shane's head. He's been good about going outside 95% of the time, but a lot of that can probably be attributed to us regularly giving him opportunities.
So far, we've had no trouble getting puppers to sleep. Seems like a good indication we're wearing him out enough during daylight hours!
