It's Officially The Big Day

Good puppy info here:

Crate training really does make a difference, as well as giving them lots of opportunities to go outside and praising them when they go in the right place, no punishments for accidents inside (pick them up and take outside if you catch them in process). Another thing to keep in mind - in general, puppies pretty much cannot be fully trained before 16 weeks old. Their bladder/urinary muscles are not developed enough to be able to hold against much pressure.

Congrats on your new baby! They are A LOT of work but so much fun - enjoy the time while they are little

At least your sash is a greyish colour. Mine was mustard yellow. There is no human being alive that looks good in mustard.

Congratulations. :clap:

Do you and Karl have matching cell phones?

I just noticed the phones!

They are both Samsungs, but not matching - we had just been calling each other to try to find each other after the ceremony and hadn't set them down yet
