Kaka's first day

We officially adopted a golden retrieve yesterday and his name is Kaka.
We'll start blogging about this guy to share experience as well as prolong memory.
Kaka did finally eat last night. The way he ate is a bit funny though. He would pick the food out of the bowl and eat it aside and then come back to the bowl for more. He is still doing a bit that during the breakfast this morning but it looks like he will eat normally eventually.
We did some crate training yesterday by gradually increasing the time of confining him in the crate and it seems working. I just put him into the crate right after a little play and he calmly went to sleep.
On the housebreaking side, he did poop 8:30 last night after he ate the dinner. That time we noticed that he was behaving weird and took him out. He woke up a couple of times during the night, I walked him twice in the night and he did pee but not poop. I guess we were just too tired and deep in the sleep the second part of the night. We were woke up by him around 5:30am and found some poop right out side the crater ( he must have found a creative way to do that). Tonight I am going to set the alarm around 5am to give him a walk.
I am not sure about the progress on the "No Bite" training yet. but I think that will work out eventually.
Overall he's been a really really good boy so far, and we are making satisfying progress on our end too. I think his energy level matches us pretty well.
