be closed all the way. I don't think he will have free reign of the house until he is trained.

I'm not sure how old the dog is, his first vet appointment is 6/5 and that is the soonest she can bring him home.

OMG my daughter is beside herself with excitement. Every night we need to discuss dog names, then watch him on the puppy cam for a while, the other night she was making imitation dog noises so I would get used to it - hysterical. I had to convince her last night not to hold off on ordering the Bark Box - which I guess is a monthly service that includes toys and treats. She needs to chill a bit...lol.
