I just wanted to thank you all for being so kind and helping me out. I've noticed ya'll like to "brag" so here goes!
The weather here in MS has turned so beautiful! The BF said him and Diesel played outside alllll day and he did great. He said he ate on schedule and went to the bathroom every single time yesterday outside!!!!! I noticed him standing by the door at one point so I ran over there and let him out and sure enough he went right outside and to the bathroom!! He got LOTS of treats and praise from Mommy.
After it started getting late we went to lay in the little playroom to watch a movie... we don't have a bed in there, just a matress so it's real low down to the floor. Anyways, we got on that and put his little fleece bed thing I ordered beside it. We were a little taller - not much, but he sat up looking at his for a little while but once he realized we weren't going anywhere he layed right down in his little bed beside us and went to sleep. We eventually took him out and put him in his crate once we got in bed and he did so well with that also.
My little puppy is learning!! Thanks for all the great advice!!
