Duke 08-100 [1]

Just a short update on the new guy... Duke!

I picked him up yesterday. He rode in the car a total of four and one half hours, after that we know he is great in a car... no whining, no drooling, no accidents. We stopped several times but he decided to wait until he arrived at his new foster home. Upon arriving he was met by my two resident dogs. Needless to say there was a lot of smelling, both by ours and by him with no problems, then checked out our yard. Next, into the house and start all over again finding out all the new stuff, from bones to toys. After about three times out he was comfortable enough to do his duty.

During the evening he went to the door several times and did his duty, and to our joy... no!!!! accidents inside. During the night he slept on the floor by our bed, he wanted to go out once. We think it was caused by nerves and drinking a lot of water. But no accidents!!!! As you can tell, we are happy about that.

So far he is just a big happy guy, well now for the bad news. He wanted to keep it a secret but he has a issue with weight. He will start his diet, and will be going on two-a-day walks. It will be good for him and his foster dad. Vet tomorrow, Feb. 25th, to get his physical, so more news after that.
