^__^ rahhh. I can't believe I have 2 dogs! And a new puppy! It's mind-boggling. (See this if you don't know what I'm talking about.)
We drove 4 hours up to Redding to pick up our little bundle of joy. His foster mom (Debbie) was so so nice, they were at an adoption event at Petco to meet us. He's way cuter in person than in his petfinder pictures! He's also a lot bigger than they described! He's more like the size of an oversized Corgi puppy of his age, so I'm ruling out the JRT... it was also strange, because everywhere we stopped, people who came over to drool over himall asked if he was a Husky! And he's definitely starting to look it.
He did great in the car for 4 hours! He slept most of the way, in his crate, and at every potty break he immediately got it done. When we got home, we introduced Gonzo and the pup in the front and he was fine with the pup. After a break for both of them, we introduced them in the backyard and Gonzo was a little bit snarky... I'm not worried about him hurting the pup, I KNOW he wouldn't, but I'm kind of worried about him getting used to the pup. I'm giving Gonzo lots of extra attention and giving them both space from eachother. If anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it. Gonzo is not territorial or resource guarding at all - it's just that he has always been very nervous with active and young dogs. The pup has been backing off very quickly when Gonzo gets nervous, though.
OK, here are the pics! He's so bouncy and cute! He really hasn't been biting very much at all, and he corrects very quickly. He's already catching onto "sit" and "down"
In the car ride, playing with his new teether.
Looking like a Corgi...
