Pinch Has Arrived!

It's been a wonderful day, and even thought I was prepared, I've forgotten how exhausting puppies can be!  OK, maybe I'm just getting old(er). 
The breeders did their usual fantastic job socializing him and the ride home was uneventful.  Once home we brought him to a neutral spot (the front acreage) and one by one he met each of the dogs, beginning with Dusty and ending with Moto.  Dusty didn't care, Shiloh practically said "not ANOTHER one!!!" Daisy was maternal, Blitz initially was growly and Moto and he hit it off immediately.  Then into the house and into the puppy pen where he could observe and be observed and everyone was safe.  That lasted about five minutes and then he wanted OUT!  I gave it a try and the result was puppy skitters followed by Blitz and Moto having a grand old time.
He's so far pottied outside every time, no accidents yet.  I have to say he is everything I could ever want in a puppy.  Just dying to learn and explore and great social skills with dogs and humans.  I'm very, very impressed and excited about our future.
But one day (or minute) at a time.  The true test will be his first night in his new crate.  I'm hoping for some sleep, good thing tomorrow is a holiday!
Pics or movies to come but it may be awhile as he is very fast and it's hard to capture more than a blur!
