First Day of School

Nelson has been having a hard time in his crate, and I know he needs to socialize with other dogs, so he is now enrolled in Doggie Day Care!! He had his first day today and had a blast! The best part? You can monitor him via a live web cam while he is there!! Above i've attached a screen shot from this morning.

Tomorrow will be his first "full" day, consisting of playing inside, outside, lunch, naptime, and more play.

They also give a report card, and some of his favorite friends today were peanut, oreo, dude and dizzle :)

Wishing everyone a great week!!

With love, Nelson & Ellen

All I Want for Christmas Is My 2 Front Teeth

Well, it finally happened yesterday at Debra's. Nelson lost his two front teeth....plus all of the bottom front row! He is officially teething, and while I feel bad for his discomfort, and the discomfort that is sure to come when the molars fall out, I can't wait for him to have rounded smooth teeth, not sharp razor knife teeth. 

Prior to the semester starting I was a little worried about how it would be to have a puppy. Well I now see, and its fantastic. Nelson sleeps 8-9 hours when he sleeps in my bed (which is every night now), and having something else to be responsible for is amazing. Instead of working on a project for 14 straight hours, forgetting to eat and see sunlight, I am now forced to take breaks and walks and relax, and it has made a huge difference in my studying for the better.

We are coming up on our third week of obedience class and its great. Im loving it, and he is loving it. 

Overall, Nelson and I are having the time of our lives and are happy as can be :) We wish all of you the same.

With love, Nelson & Ellen

What a Week!

The title says it all. Last week was a mess, in many ways. The shortened version (to save those that already know the story) is that on Monday I ended up in the ER with a massive nosebleed due to a severe sinus infection. My nose had to be packed and I couldn't do any bending down or hard movement therefore taking care of Nelson was almost impossible. Lucky for me I have a great family and my dad came on Tuesday and got Nelson, and he stayed with the big boys and the cats until Sunday. 

There must be something in the water at the Wegner house because when my dad took Nelson he weighed 24lbs, and when I got him and took him home on Monday, he weighed in at 32lbs! This new weight gain has led Nelson to be able to have his head on counters, jump higher than ever, and climb up and down stairs with no trouble. 

This week is a week full of catching up for me, and Nelson is helping by chewing his beef sticks and keeping himself entertained. This week is also full of other things: final puppy kindergarten class tonight, first obedience class tomorrow, vet appt friday and we are back to Debra's friday for my internship (we can't wait)!

We hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend, and is having a good week thus far. 

With love, Nelson & Ellen
