Kauffman's Home!!

Kauffman arrived in Kansas City last night at 10:00 pm. It was absolute chaos when we introduced him to Fenway and Hanover. The two older dogs were in a high state of excitement and Kauffman was on overload. After an hour, we decided it was best to retire for the night. Today it's been a lot calmer and all pups are bonding. There have been several tug toy games between Kauffman and Hanover. Fenway is till trying to figure out how best to play with him.

Kauffman is one happy, smart, inquisitive, fearless little pup. The eight steps from the family room to the kitchen were daunting to him last night. I helped him up one time and that's all it took. He has been running up the stairs (not down yet) at full speed. Not bad for an 11-week old puppy.

Just like a small child, everything is going straight to his mouth. We're headed to the pet store to get some teething toys.

Here's some early photos. Enjoy!
