Hi, my name is Terrie. I am a first time owner of a beautiful Chocolate Labrodor Retreiver. Anyway we picked him up yesterday. Our first night was fine as he slept with us and had many potty breaks. I plan to put him in the crate for about 2 hours this afternoon so I can run get some shopping done. I don't want to leave him in there to long at first. Anyway, I can't wait to meet you all and see some pictures of your babies.
