Michaela,
Axl is settling in nicely and getting to learn the
ropes of interacting with his new pack and also the rules of his
new house. He actually played with his ball cooperatively
with his two sisters in the house last night! He earned his last
cup of dog food at about 9:00 pm last night one piece at a time by
either sitting or laying by the couch and giving me eye contact. He
was not sure of the "game" at first, but began to learn very
quickly and it kept him busy, focused and quiet for at least
half an hour. He does not seem too fond of the rule of sitting and
waiting at the door until released, but he is catching on to that
game quickly as well. He is still a bit nervous about his new
surroundings, but has already started to show the first signs that
he is willing to begin bonding with us. We can not thank you enough
for taking the time with us both pre-adoption and on adoption day to
make sure that Axl was the right dog for us. He is a beautiful, smart (and
busy) boy and we are very grateful to have him as part of our
family.
Paul and Sherri Goldstein
