The first night afterwards I had dreams he was at the front door waiting. That was sad. When he was 8 weeks old he went on his first walk at night, and dad came back to the front door with an empty leash (lol). Of course parents hate puppies and all the work they need (like a baby). The kids were furious (I was 17 at the time).

5 minutes later, we noticed at the back door step, he was sitting there waiting to come inside.

It made absolutely no sense, he didn't know the neighborhood yet, he was still young, and it was pitch dark out. But he managed to come home by himself and wait.

My brother in law gave me the best advice I will pass on to you, the hardest part is over.
