We got our cockapoo puppy, Griffin, yesterday from a breeder in Shenandoah, Virginia.   We showed up at 10 am to pick up our new baby.  He was very timid and sad at first. He slept on my daughter, Sophia's lap most of the way home, but also took a turn on mine and Jack's lap. When we got home at around at 11:30, he peed in the yard.  We tried to get him to eat but he didn't eat anything until about 6 pm.  He just sorta sat there depressed all afternoon.  He must have missed his mom, dad, and siblings.   He only peed maybe one other time that afternoon. He finally pooped around 7 pm, and it was like he became a new puppy. He started playing chase with the kids and perked right up.  He also ate and drank a bit.  He went to bed for the night at 10 pm, and slept all the way through until 3 am. I took him out to pee at 3 am, and brought him straight back to his crate to sleep some more and he made it until 5:30 am.  John, my husband brought him out that time and he didn't think he went but we put him back in the crate where he finally started whimpering for awhile, but then went back to bed until 8 am.  He peed and ate breakfast at that time.  All day long today on his second day, he has been peeing, drinking and eating, but still hasn't pooped! I think he's just still a bit depressed and stressed.  We all love him so much already!!!

Pictures of the first two days coming later tonight!
