Please,Please Check on Him!?!?!
Oh, don't worry Nicole (delidog), by next thursday the SPCA staff will be quite tired of me! Like I said earlier, I may not be able to get in every single day, but darn near, and even the days I may not be able to walk him I'm sure I can at least pop in to give him a couple 'o pets!

Do you have a Bowl,Bed,Blankies,Toys for him????
This brings me to one of my first questions (I have a few but I'm gonna try to spread 'em out a little bit rather than ask 'em all at once!!): I have a large crate and nice fluffy, freshly-washed blanket for him. Buddy and Tasha have always just shared the same bowl and have food down all the time. I have dog-sat many dogs in my house and the only problem ever is that Tash gets upset if the other dog heads into her food bowl (though she could care less when Bud does). Ultimately I would like for them all to share food that will be there 24/7 (it's in a little holder thingy with two bowls, right now I only keep one full but I could fill both). Do you guys think I should give him a seperate bowl in a separate area and then try to slowly move it closer, or should I just let him at it and try to monitor it to make sure Tash is not trying to stop him from eating? I don't think it's fair at this point to all of a sudden put Bud and Tash on scheduled meals after ten years of food having always been there.

I'll slip in one more question while I'm at it. Bud and Tash get 1 hour a day of off-leash walking and more often than not another short on-leash walk. Obviously, the new pup will not be off-leash until he has some training with me and I know I can trust him. Should I take him and keep him on leash (which seems kind of mean while Bud and Tash run around freely), or leave him at home (which might be a good chance for him to "check out the place" without anyone else around? Or, a little of both?

By the way C&S, no great names came to mind while walking him. If I had to name him based on todays walk it would likey be "wingnut" or "yoyo" (he was back and forth to the end of that leash just like a yoyo!), but neither of those seem all that appealing to me!
