We start early around here! Ty sleeps quietly in his crate at night, but hits the ground running in the morning! He comes bounding out of his crate when I wake them, and tears downstairs as fast as he can for his favorite part of any day- FOOD. Ty is a gobbler- my dogs are too- and they woof down their food with gusto. Then it's outside for pee and poop, then another nap- he runs right back upstairs to lie down again for another nap, this time with his best buddy Graham.
After they get up it's a full day of playing- hide and seek with my Pixie, wrestling, chasing squirrels- and chewing hard bones, with lap time and nap time mixed in. My yard is fully fenced, and Ty loves running around with his buddies- he goes right to the back door when he needs to pee or poop, and runs right back in when I call him. He rides beautifully in a car and I take him every where I can- Ty loves meeting new people and seeing the world! He didn't walk too well on a leash when he came but that's changed so much- he now enjoys his walks as much as the others.
Then dinner- and then begging at the table while we eat!- and the evenings are cuddle and lap time. He sticks close to me, and is not shy about giving affection and kisses. He gets a bed time snack, then can be found in his crate, usually with Graham pressed up against him.
He figured out the routine around here in just a few days- and has settled in beautifully. I don't know all the details of his former life but am pretty sure that this is the first safe, stable environment he's ever been in. He's learning that life doesn't have to be hard and scary all the time!
