Hi Barbie & Tim:
Been meaning to drop you a quick email all week…..Gibbs is doing great!! We had our puppy trainer out that first Sunday and she said he is going to be so easy to train. She was really impressed with him and fell in love with him. He already knows how to sit and walks on a leash. Is responding really well on his other commands already. When we open the door to take him out to feed him or go potty, he runs to our outdoor kennel; he knows right where to go. Saw the vet on Monday…everything is good, but he does have a little parasite, so the vet put him on another medication. We take him back in another week or so for his other shot.
He is already learning his name and his tail never stops wagging. Every time he sees one of us, his tail just goes crazy. He is so much fun and we absolutely love him. Max still isn’t too keen about him, but he’s getting better. We just need to monitor him when they’re together. Gibbs is getting brave and wants to play all the time, so he tries to jump on Max or bite his ear, so Max probably thinks he’s pretty annoying. It will take some time, but I’m sure they’ll be great friends.
We are just so amazed at how good he is….he never even makes a peep when we put him in his kennel/crate……even if he isn’t sleeping, he just lays in there playing with his toys. In the 10 or so nights that we’ve had him, he’s only gotten up in the middle of the night on 2 nights…we took him out, he went potty right away and then came in and went right back to sleep, without making a peep. So amazing at this young age.
We’ll keep you posted, and will send you a picture in a month or so….we think he’s already getting a little bigger. (He LOVES to eat…he’s a chow hound!). He’s going to be a beautiful dog.
Take care, and we are so happy we found you guys!
Nancy
