Puppy loves me!

I think it's amazing how a puppy can get attached to people so quickly and in a way that there's complete trust and dependence on his part. He needs us for everything. And then there's all that love that is given back, it's amazing how even in a short time he knows all his people and gets excited. Even when I go upstairs for 5 minutes and then come back he's waiting for me and happy to see me again. When I go to work and come back he's usually really crazy to see me again, as long as he isn't busy doing anything. Even when you get mad at him when he does things he isn't allowed to (mostly "bite" us in that playing way puppies do), he'll still come over wanting to play or to be loved. Best thing ever is when he walks over, jumps up my leg and wants to come and sleep on my lap. I always hate waking him up when I have to put him in his own bed because I have to get up.

He stays with my aunt and uncle for the time being when nobody's home because he's still so young and I don't like to put him in a crate and leave him alone for a couple of hours. Once he's house trained he'll be taught to stay alone for longer periods of time and he can just walk around the house as he pleases.

I felt so bad tonight, I accidentally stepped on a paw, didn't see him. I got up and he was roaming around and apparently following me as he usually does. Was actually getting something for him and when I turned around I stepped on his little paw, badly. He ran away crying in a way I had never heard before. I felt so so so bad but he was fine afterwards. I still feel totally bad about it but I couldn't help it, I really didn't see him behind me. Luckily he was only in pain and nothing really bad happened as he was normal again afterwards. I knew things were okay with us again when not long after he wanted to come on my lap and cuddle.

I melt away every time he looks at me with those big dark puppy eyes...
