    I think that, too. Two thirds of the way there, but I think a third might have to wait until these two are a bit more trained!

    He's really been super today. We went to Pets at Home and had a wander round, and we stood at the door of Tesco while Hubs bought a few things. Everyone loved him of course. Just one accident in the kitchen today, which was my fault, I was emptying the tumble dryer. He's going every hour, give or take 5 minutes. He even whined at my Mum's front door, we let him out and he pee'd straight away.

    We've been to the vets and been given a clean bill of health, and we're back on Saturday for his first vaccination. They give then at 9 and 12 weeks.

    He's lovely!

    Great going with the toilet training!

    I don't soak our dogs' food, but I always put warm water on it - it's a lot of dry at once otherwise imo :)

    You need a pet carrier/puppy sling/suitably shaped bag. Just check the weight rating....

    I would suggest something that allows you to distribute the weight over both shoulders. I tried a tote bag and it killed my shoulder, even with Willow, who was pretty small. After that, I found the best way was to distribute the weight evenly between DH's arms ;)
