A report on the boy's first day -----
He was absolutely perfect on the ride home - very attentive to the goings on outside of the car, a few laydowns to rest a bit, not a bark or a whimper. We were so happy because we always took our previous guys with us most places we went and we wanted to be able to do the same with Breyer..Yay, now we can.
He came right into the house with us, no hesitation whatsoever and of course began snooping from room to room. That took him a while, he did a very thorough job!
We then proceeded to take our first walk and explore the neighborhood, everything went well - no dogs around. I wasen't so fortunate on the next exploration jaunt. We met a friend from the building with her Lhasa who is very similar to Breyer in his dislike of those "other bothersome dogs". I stopped to chat with her and that gave Breyer just enough time to get his dander up. There was no growling or snapping - just lunging to get at Murph (the Lhasa) - and then we went our merry way and he didn't even look backwards. We've been out 3 times and it will soon be time for our last.
He is one smart fellow - he knows all of his obedience commands plus shaking hands, rolling over, rolling around in a ball, sitting pretty and God only knows what else we have yet to uncover. We haven't tried heeling yet - tomorrow is another day.
Right now he's sound asleep on the bed with Al after his big moving day.
I'll keep in touch with you with updates on his acceptance of his new home. It's like he has always been here with us.
Talk to you soon.
Sandy
