Best wishes to the Stanks!
I'm not up to speed. Do I send diapers and buy cigars? Or do I send a soil test kit and rain gauge? Either way, best of luck to you two.

No way bro where do you find the time?? Congrats and good luck on the family front.
@Van Stank stank - been looking into water and possible issues it can cause with plants in containers. Found a bit of interesting info on water in Mass - I was reading that ground water/well water from Berkshire county has a high alkalinity which is different and somewhat related to pH. Basically its the same as adding CaCO3 to you water (weak solution). So like liming your soil its the same thing. In containers that a bad thing usually.
I'm not sure what county you are in but I'm throwing that one out there. So water has 2 things to look at: pH and alkalinity.
Here's what I was reading. I know its easy to overthink this stuff and reading an article like this can certainly help with over thinking but I found it interesting non the less.
Water Quality: pH and Alkalinity

Thanks guys!!! He is adorable. Now we just have to figure out a name for him.
Next up will be a German Shepard but that will likely be next year at some point.

Hey All!
Been a hectic couple of days with the Dude here. We settled on the name Cooper for him, but he doesn't respond to it.
Man do I forget how much work puppies are.....and this dude has a stubborn streak a mile wide. But he is cute as hell.
He keeps trying to escape his outdoor leash. He wants to hide under a bush. What a funny dude he is. Very smart but is definitely one that likes to push limits lol.

Thanks CK!! He is an awesome little dude. We just have to iron out the chain of command here.....he was the Alpha of the litter and you can tell he is struggling to accept me as the new Alpha. Fun times though!
He mastered steps in his first day....along with sit, and shake. But he doesn't like to be forced to work....he likes doing his own thing, not what I want him to do!
You'll find long walks and lots of exercise will make him more acceptable to learning new things.
