Buddy has been with us for a week now and he is doing great! We hope he finds his forever home soon. We continue to take him on daily walks, work on some routines, and try our best to prepare him for his next home.
At the start, our dog, Milo, initiated more play, and Buddy joined in occasionally. Today, he initiated play several times and the boys had fun playing with a tug toy and running around the yard. Buddy is also becoming more vocal and is turning into a nice little watch dog. :) He LOVES looking out the front window and door, so I try to keep them open whenever I am home so he can be on the look out. When he sees people pass by he gets an alert posture and may let out a little bark, whimper, or growl. Nothing fierce at all, I think he's just getting my attention and trying to say, "hey lady, I see someone". He'll make noise for about 20 seconds and then he is done. On our walks we see some dogs who will relentlessly bark as I pass by, and Buddy it is nothing like that. Our dog doesn't make a peep when people pass by, so having Buddy as a little alert dog has been a nice change.
