Week 1 of the dog

We've had charlie for 8 days now.  Its been interesting. Overall, he's an amazing dog.  He sleeps in his crate at night, he's on his way to being housebroken all ready, he rarely barks, he's doing better on walks and he loves to cuddle.
He likes to chew his bone and gets a little feisty in the morning, but we have no complaints.
We can't say the same for Sam and Ellie.  If Charlie is sleeping we can get Sam to come over and pet him.  Ellie might give him half a pet, but thats about it.  Neither one of them like walking by him and will go out of their way to avoid him if he's awake.  Its pretty ridiculous.  Sam said he's afraid Charlie will bite him even though he hasn't bit anyone and hasn't shown any interest in biting.  Ellie wont tell us why she's afraid.  She says she loves the puppy, but she doesn't want a puppy.  We're still working on them.
Katie and Charlie have had a few stare downs, but last night they actually interacted.  Katie won then she came over to rub it in while he was asleep.
