Meet Picasso!

So this is what we did this weekend. We had promised Baby Bean a puppy for Christmas since it had been almost 2 years since we put our last puppy, Clutch, down. Well, after 2 weeks of hard core searching and calling about almost every add I found we found him. He is almost 6 weeks old. He is 1/4 Pit Bull, 1/4 Black Lab and 1/2 Australian Shephard. He was originally advertised as a Pit/Akita/Aussie mix which to me sounded like a "Picaussie." So seeing as that was the mix he was with the merle spots on his face we decided we would call him Picasso. The we got there and found out it was Black Lab in him rather than Akita (which is better) but we stuck with the name anyways. So, what do yout think? Pretty cute, huh? Well at this point I am ready to take him back simply because I had forgotten how often they had to pee at night (every freaking hour!). My 3 month old baby doesn't even wake up at night and when he used to it was at the most frequent every 4 hours. I also forgot how whiney they were the first few days at night. I am currently functioning on about 4 hours of sleep so say a little prayer for me that I survive the next couple weeks without incident. :) We can't actually start training him not to whine until he hits 8 weeks and of course his frequent peeing will have to level out with age. Ugh! I love puppies but man I forgot how much work they were. :) Baby Bean is in love with him though so it will definitely be worth it.

Oh yeah, my camera is completely incapacitated now so I may be a bit slower on picture updates until I figure out how to get my pictures downloaded from my camera phone to the computer.
