Oh he is so sweet. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have a great "Gotcha Day." Keep us current and write details about your pick up, drive home with your new baby and bonding. I always found that singing silly songs in a calm voice using their name and your name (example: Dog's Name in the kitchen with Mommy, Dog's Name in the kitchen with Mommy, and he's such a good boy" helps with bonding. familiarizing the dog with the car and your voice etc. I had to drive from New England to FL to get my Annie. It took three days and two nights in motels and I nearly lost my voice from singing so much, but by the time we got home, we were so bonded you wouldn't believe it. Don't stop at doggy rest areas off the interstate because your baby probably hasn't had his Parvo and Rabies shots. If he has to go, us puppy pee pads in the trunk of your car so he won't pick up germs in a doggy rest area. Best wishes and don't forget to tell us everything about your trip and new baby.
