Who needs sleep?

saffronharePuppy is doing well. Rowan pointed out today that we should have called him Jack Sparrow, on account of his "eyeliner." (Kira vetoed changing his name to "Stinker" last night, so maybe Jack Sparrow will have to do.)
We're having a pretty good first week, overall. He slept for nearly five hours straight last night -- from his midnight walk until my alarm went off -- and might have slept longer if I let him. He ran away from Rowan when she was trying leash him up for a walk yesterday evening, and peed a little bit inside, but there haven't been any other indoor accidents. (Except for when he peed on the newspaper, but we won't call that an accident. It wasn't on the carpet; and he'd been paper-trained before we got him, after all.)
Like you all wanted to know that.
:) Also, he rides well in the car if he's held on somebody's lap. But in the kennel? You know, the way it's safe? SUCKS. He made sure everyone knew that.
It's possible he'll end up taking a bath with me sometime soon. He kept jumping up at the edge of the tub this morning -- I took a bath instead of a shower, because I figured having me disappear behind a shower curtain would have been very alarming for him -- and it won't be long before he over-shoots and ends up in the water. Doing what I can to train him to stay down, but it's gonna happen, I think. Splash!
