Brock was/is such an easy made pooch for sure. At first hesitant but now extremely comfortable in daily routine of the household. Lastnight he hesitated at first to enter the bedroom area, but once he figured out he was allowed, he made himself comfy and climbed right up on the bed, snuggled in and stayed right there until I awoke around 12:30 pm to use the restroom, and of course, he had to be on my heals so he followed suit, then proceeded to climb right back in again. Figured due to his size he would be a bed hog, but he was well behaved and took up minimal space and slept like he hadnt been that easy in a long time.
Still loves his car rides and is very aware of his limitations in the car. He settles in, will put his head on the shoulder of any passenger and occasionally will just pop up and throw you a kiss saying thank you for the ride..Today he got his first bathing experience here at home. Most dogs I know, or have had experience with other than Scarlet hates bathtime. He finally was coaxed into the shower stall, but once there he took it like a champ. Figured he wouldn't win any battle anyway so he just stood there accepting the fact he was gunna get bathed regardless. Had to rid some of that kennel smell he had been tagging along with him. Still doesn't smell like roses and prob. never will, but at least its tolerable now and not as pungent as before.
He is so easy to deal with, have only heard him get vocal two or three times and its a very short warning one or two barks,just to say I am here and see you.. then he quets right down and just observes. He loves to listen and observe everything going on around him, He has the sweetest personality and has the best temperment. Other than not knowing or recognizing his name, he still needs some basic skills like sit, stay, no, down, etc. Hopefully in time he will recognize his name and if all else fails the adopting facility has offered classes on a weekly basis to help get him over those hurdles.
All in all, I think we both got lucky, apparently we were comfortable enough and gladly accepted one another as friends and that bond should only get stronger as we go on. He is such a good boy, just need a little guidence and lots of love..of which we are willing to provide hands down.
Sheriff's dept. forwarded his paperwork via email today as well, so now we have his health records as best they know them, his mirochip number and facility that monitors it, we are working on setting up a perminant vet, and health insurance should they be needed, we want the best for this guy.
