(George) did really well on the way home. Mostly slept - some crying. He got home and met his dog brothers. He enjoys weaving around their legs and following the almost 2-year-old around. He’s been a good big brother and will bark to initiate some play, and they have welcomed him to our home. It’s warm out, and we lost our backyard tree, so I hooked up the dog splash pad... super low-water pool, and he followed them in for a cool-off wade through some water- but also didn’t mind standing in the little end splash streams. Now he’s recovering with a nap on the carpet after playing with some toys - he quickly figured out our water bowl (with the floaty disk ) in the living room after some first apprehension but the others showed him what to do :)

Today is George’s 1st birthday! He’s in Obedience Level 2 and has started visiting the local nursing home, bringing the residents smiles … we have some more work to do, but he’s calm and collected where he should be. He's a sweet boy. His fun characteristic is what I call his smile. He shows his teeth when he’s happy. His favorite trick is a high five!
