Brutus has company for 8 days! My fur nieces, Bailey and Darby, joined us yesterday afternoon. I was very stressed about the initial meet and greet. Although Brutus was at their house a couple months ago, he's been acting so flakey latey I didnt know how things would go. I was hoping dogs remembered each others smell, and I guess they did? I'm going to ask his trainer today on that. He also has no issues with my brother, his kids, or Amy..... who he has some issues with last they met. Hopefully he keeps this attitude up for our week vacation at their house in Ohio next month!
There is loads of romping, rolling and leaping going on at the house. I've got a black and blue foot to prove it. A 106 pound dog running across your foot is not pretty. Nor is it when he leaps onto your lap!
Feeding time is tricky. Have to seperate everyone so they don't each others food.... or get in any fights. Last 2 feeding Brutus hasn't even finished all his food.... too woried about what the ladies are doing.
Everyone once and a while I seperate Brutus from the ladies, just so everyone can get some quiet nap time in, and the ladies have no problem making themselves home on the couch or loveseat.
Overnight went well. Brutus snored away in his cage last night, the girls stayed in the living room, and Noah in the other room. The cats wander downstairs in the evening when Brutus is crated, so I decided to keepthe girls in the front room only. They only barked twice last night, probably when the cats made their way down.
They were very happy to see me in the morning..... smiling and nubby wagging. Brutus was happy to start the day all over with his new playmates. Noah could care less.... he's in his own bubble.
Today Brutus has an Intermediate Nosework class. Today it's at the Bloomsburg Elementary. A little more work because we need to take his crate with us because it will probably be too hot for him to stay in the car. Also need to 3 enviromental items from our house, to mix in with the search area. We missed the last class and practice, so I feel like we are a bit behind. Should still be fun!
