It's only week three. It is amazing how fast he is growing both mentally and physically. While still somewhat timid in public situations, he has to problem being a little shit at home. He and Rusty really go at it and you think they are killing each other. We try to keep them separated but they just keep going back for more. If it gets too intense, buster gets a "time out" in the carrier.
We wanted to go for a ride in Tehachapi over the weekend. We had three choices for what to do with Buster: a) leave him in the yard with Rusty, b) leave him in the kennel for the 6+ hours we would be gone, or c) take him with us and leave him in the kennel for only the couple of hours we would be actually riding. We opted for "c" and he did well. He was barking when we got back to the trailer, but he really had to go. We took him for about 100 yard ride with the horses. He was worried at first, then just followed along with us.
The folks at the winery invited us in the tasting room and everyone fawned over him. He was worried, but then they brought out some treats and all was well.We spent about an hour there and he slept most of the time by my feet.
He is healing - kinda - and sitting. He doesn't listen worth a darn. He plays in his own world. He is eating enough for three dogs. But, he did his first "down" for me today, so we are making progress.
