He sat in my lap and slept the whole time except when he got threw up (construction area) and when he had to use the potty and barked to tell us. : ) We also gave him a bath because he got himself nasty on the way over when he got ill. : ) He's so sweet. We named him Bandit instead of Gizmo because it seemed to fit him better. Sorry for the picture quality, gotta mess with the settings again! He's exhausted and just flopped over and started sleeping! <3 We need to take him to the vet soon! SPAM: picking him up first bath look how cute compared to my brother and me poor baby! gettin' clean nom nom nom trying to get a good picture trying to show his cute collar him and his crate getting comfy : D

He's very cute! Congratulations.

## wliu003 · 2009-05-09T22:41:33.000Z
congrats! try to enjoy your first night with him because if its anything like a shiba you might hate your life for a few hours.

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-09T22:43:50.000Z
Haha probably. I wish he coulda held out longer, he just passed out and doesn't make a peep.

## shimaurashibalover92 · 2009-05-09T22:45:36.000Z
He's so freaking cute. My little cousins have a Shitpoo named Bandit. Sorry to hear about the puking in the car, my aunt's old dog did that when we picked him up. He turned out to be one of the best dog's ever to exsist so maybe it's a good sign. Keep the spam coming.

## Saya · 2009-05-09T22:46:58.000Z
Aww! such a cutie Bandit is a nice name too. =)

## Darwin67 · 2009-05-09T23:06:14.000Z
Cute pics!! Love the name...especially since he "stole' your heart :)

## Calia · 2009-05-10T03:41:56.000Z
What a cutie, can't wait to see more of your little Bandit

## lindsayt · 2009-05-10T05:30:58.000Z
Awwww! He's so cute and tiny. It looks like you were prepared, got all the right stuff. Jealous of your new baby.

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-05-10T10:53:50.000Z
I like the name Bandit - he's quite cute.

## baanton · 2009-05-10T13:53:48.000Z
Bandit is adorable! Keep the pictures coming!

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-10T16:10:26.000Z
New pics from outside walkies. You guys were right, no sleep :P ![](http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4348/200/120/1125810331/n1125810331_30517854_4064076.jpg\
<img src=>) Wow been such a long day : ) Been trying to bond with Bandit, my bro keeps trying to steal him :P Its hard since I'm doing all the training and stuff and my bro just will come and be like nah, you don't have to listen to her. come play with me! lol. : ) I'm working on house-training and getting him to survive for more than 1 second alone. He is fine as long as someone is in the room, otherwise he yelp-barks.

## Tsheehan · 2009-05-10T16:59:34.000Z
AWE you picked the name I suggested! I guess he really did steal your heart LOL. He is very cute, happy things are going well so far!

## lindsayt · 2009-05-10T17:08:27.000Z
hee hee, his harness looks so big on him. Sooo cute.

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-10T17:14:27.000Z
Hahah yeah they didn't have one small enough yet. He's gonna grow soon though so it;ll fit :) hehehe.

## Saya · 2009-05-10T20:29:40.000Z
Awww! such a cute little ball of fur he's so cute! =)

## cmmookie · 2009-05-10T21:52:57.000Z
So tiny and cute!!! Bandit is awesome.

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-10T22:08:46.000Z
: ) He is quite awesome. He keeps going and going whew!! Its so funny he wont rest until everyone but me leaves, then he just poops out. hahah. He's really well adjusted already which is nice. His first vet visit here should be tomorrow. : )

## lindsayt · 2009-05-11T00:39:10.000Z
Don't forget to bring a fresh poo sample!

## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-05-11T01:22:19.000Z
CUTE! Congrats!~

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-11T01:30:05.000Z
I will! Its easy since it'll be niccce and fresh, next to my bed and the puppy pad. (lol) Will spam more later :) and add drawings. (been rough having no sleep and dealing with new puppy of doooooom. )

## Calia · 2009-05-11T12:26:40.000Z
He is so cute, I just want to nibble on his paws.

## ShikokuSpirit (moderator) · 2009-05-11T15:04:59.000Z
Cute little squirt. I bet he's given you the run around, lol. A little fluff ball of energy, no wonder he's difficult to photograph. Are you able to get and post some videos of him? That would be awesome if you could.

## sunyata · 2009-05-11T20:02:05.000Z
He is such a tiny little ball of fluff! :) So cute. Congrats! (sorry that I am a bit late on that!)

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-11T21:47:21.000Z
Hahah yeah he's crazy. It's been almost impossible to get him to listen. I swear he's part shiba. He figured out how to climb his kennel within minutes of being put in it and doesn't like to listen at all. :P Might be his age though, 8 weeks is a little early to expect him to have any attention span. :P He's exasperatingly cute. : ) his back paws are tinier than the front paws. I've been perusing forums for help, but does anyone have potty training/ etc. advice for an 8 week old puppy?

## Tsheehan · 2009-05-11T22:07:03.000Z
Every inside dog I have had I put on a schedule, I wrote down the times I fed and allowed water, then I wrote down the times they did what business, #1 and #2. After a while you see a pattern, so you can predict when what movement will happen. I got this advice from a book call House train any dog...I think that is the name of it. I had it YEARS ago when my family got a German Shepherd but the same process worked for both of my Shibas. Also if you can't supervise him, put him in his kennel. Meaning if you have to go do school work, or clean the house or whatever and can't keep an eye on him, put him in his kennel. He will be less likely to have an accident in his kennel which he should consider his "cave". Hope this helps.

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-11T23:59:17.000Z
Thanks! THat makes a lot of sense!

## Tsheehan · 2009-05-12T02:48:04.000Z
I would also cut off water at say, 8pm-ish if we were going to bed at 10pm-ish. That way their little puppy bladders wouldn't be to full at bedtime. Not anymore though since they are grown up.

## wliu003 · 2009-05-12T03:55:32.000Z
timing is everything, for the first few months i had my shibas pee/poop schedule down. that strategy and shibas being naturally clean helped me avoid puppy accidents.

## animatorshiba · 2009-05-12T16:11:36.000Z
Yeah we cut off his water last night and he was great. : ) He's been mproving with the schedule
