It's been a few days since our last update.  Vet said he was healthy and she fell in love with the little guy. Aksel was 8.1 pounds at the vet last week. I can already tell he's a little bit bigger than last weeks vet visit too. 

He is SUPER smart. He already walks the leash very well and is almost completely housebroken - no accidents in a few days.  We also have a sensored dog door and he learned that her can go in and out as he pleases in one night. In addition he already sits, lays, and shakes.  Not sure what to teach him next - probably come and stay are the next two as they are most practical :). He loves learning time.

Here is a picture of him playing tug of war with my roommates dog!  Thank you again for all the information, the help, and my amazing new friend!
