Henry's first couple of nights at home have gone...well, noisily.  He's being crate trained, and he's howled and cried intermittently most of the night.  It doesn't bother me too much, I know that he's not hungry, thirsty, or cold and that he doesn't need to go to the bathroom - that he's just lonely and crying for attention.  The kids however...Jake was almost in tears last night.  "it hurts me to hear him cry, mom" he said.  I haven't given in , and Henry eventually stopped.  Dave let him out when he came home from work at 4am, and he cried for about half an hour when he got put back in so Dave could come to bed....but again, he stopped, so I think he's learning. 

He has a flea.  Actually, he probably has fleas, but I've only seen one crawling on him.  I'm going to bathe him tonight to try and stope the cycle, but I'm calling the vet this afternoon to see if the have any suggestions for medications I can use on him.  Most of the OTC ones can't be used on pups under 12 weeks old, but I believe that Sentinel can be used on puppies 4 weeks and older.  Lickily most of our house has tile and hard floor, giving the fleas a more hostile environment in which to breed...but I'm still going to go around and vacum all the soft furnishings and rugs today, just in case.
