I guess i had forgotten how much work a new puppy is....havent had a lot of free time to collect and document much. Each puppy is different, every dog has a different personality, breed similiarities aside....a few quick pics and observations: 
more pics when we can get them all posted.quick observations:
- i remember chibi being much more timid than this puppy, sumo had no fear of chibi and instantly started the doggie ufc play sessions
- sumo hates his harness much more than chibi did
- sumo DOES sleep better than chibi (then again, that could be due to having someone to play with and tire him out)
- potty training hasn't been as smooth, he has shown no inclination of moving towards the pee pad by the door when he has to go, though he tries to use the pee pad in his pen
- he does like his crate more than chibi did/does...he sleeps in it and goes inside whenever he gets tired (vs. chibi, who just plopped down on the ground
- each dog eats the other's food (though it's the same food in each dish)
- he hasnt/doesnt object to having his nails clipped, paws played with, or food messed with
Chibi is adjusting well, only a couple "incidents" over toys, which were resolved instantly by us...for the most part chibis ignores us now and looks for Sumo to play with when we get home to let her out. She sleeps by his pen when he passes out, and goes to see if he's awake to play when she wakes up from her naps.
Did some minor training...VERY minor....Sumo is learning to 'sit' to get out of his pen, and 'sit/off' when he wants to get pet (vs jumping on us).
We plan to continue the basic sit/stay/off commands every night like we did with Chibi, as well as start the nightly "brushing" ritual.
