1. His fur is growing out beautifully. He had been roughly shaved (the volunteers at the KS Humane Society did it) because it was tangled when he was brought in. It is the softest fur, and he is really starting to feather everywhere. I love it!
Compare this picture with the picture below. The picture below was provided by the KS Humane Society on their Web site right before we adopted him. You can tell his fur is much shorter after being shaved.
2. He is such a good boy about going to his crate when it is time for bed or when Kevin or I need to leave. We just say the phrase, "go to bed," and he goes without much hesitation at all.
3. We are still working on jumping on people. He's gotten much better about getting down once we say "down", but he still is motivated to jump, ESPECIALLY when we have guests (doesn't he realize that it makes it look worse to people than it really is? Silly puppy!)
4. He is still the best doggy cuddler I've ever personally known. He and I share an hour a day in particular when I snuggle him. We watch The View together. It's both of our guilty pleasures.
5. He is finally realizing that we don't own the entire subdivision, even though there aren't many houses in our area. For awhile, he would bark at the private school two blocks from us. Thankfully that is no more.
6. Playing in the unfinished basement with his tennis ball is his FAVORITE activity. We only have boxes on the side with the stairs in our basement, so there is a large open area we can throw the ball. It's great for him when it's too cold or wet outside to do in the cul-de-sac. We don't have to worry about putting a rope for a leash on him either, which I know he appreciates.
