Such a GOOD BOY!

Rudy is turning into such a GOOD BOY! He has settled in and his wonderful personality is shinning thru more every day. He is so happy and full of fun. Last night I was teaching him how to play tug-of-war with a toy. At first he was a little unsure of why I wanted to try and take the toy from him but you could see on his face when he figured out what we were playing and then really got into it! He has lots of energy and loved to play - and can entertain himself for quite some time with a stuffy or a kong. He is no longer crated and now understands that the dog beds that are EVERYWHERE are for him. He still only goes to his one selected bed but is happy now to nap there until I come over to give pets. Meal time is still his favorite time. He waits patiently while I make all the meals and put his in his designated spot. He will wait to be invited to the dish then dives in. His eating has slowed down quite a bit - thank goodness. When he is done he really wants the other food but as long as there is a dog at the other dish he will not move in and try to eat theirs. He still is enjoying the pool - so anyone out there who has a wading pool or likes to go to the lake - this guy's for you! If you are looking for a fun loving companion - who loves to play and loves his people - this guy's for you!

I took care of him when his foster mom went away for a couple of days and he's awesome. He plays by himself and loves to run after a frisbee. He brings it back too but you have to be fast to grab it as he runs by. lol.
