Bittersweet

After a month and a half of working with Jake to become a better apartment dog I decided it would be best to find him a different home. It wasn't fair to the neighbors to have to listen to him bark for hours and hours when I was gone and wasn't fair to Jake that I had to use a bark collar on him every time I left to stop him from annoying the neighbors. It was a very hard decision, but I feel like I made the best choice for both of us. I no longer feel the stress of constantly wondering if he is behaving or not.
Because I don't like living alone I bought a new puppy that will be better for living at an apartment. He is a 1/2 Maltese 1/2 Cavelier King Charles Spanial. His name is Charlie like the character off Lost. So far he is doing really well. He cries a little bit, but it doesn't last long and is not loud at all. He picked up on pottying on the puppy pad really well also. Everyone says my apartment feels so much calmer now and I am really enjoying the lack of intensity Jake brought to the apartment.
