Dart got his first car ride in the front seat. He is an awesome car-rider. Enjoys taking in the views but mostly likes curling up on the seat. We went over to visit my parents and my visiting nephew again. He loves exploring their house. He and Peewee still don't really care about each other.
Next we went over to Ryan's parents house. They have a little Pomeranian with a big dog complex. Dart wasn't too much of a fan of Buddy. Note to self - find a different endearment for Dart, buddy gets confusing. I worked the Haunted Basement last night, so he and Ryan got some quality time together.
We decided to put his bed in the bedroom last night but leave his crate and blanket in the hallway with the bedroom and crate doors open. When I got home from the basement at 1:30 he met me at the top of the stairs. Was expecting him to follow me to the bedroom but he slept in his crate all night. We'll see how long that lasts. At one point I went to the bathroom - guess who snores?
This morning he got up with Ryan (6:30) and stayed up. Looks like I'll become a morning person and I may need to invest in running shoes. Morning walks are much more populated than late evening walks. There are 4 dogs who share our end of the alley. Dart was a bit skittish of them. 2 were far more aggressive than he has shown so far. He didn't pull the leash to go meet them - I imagine that will change as he becomes more adapted.
He has finally shown interest in his toys. He already ripped the seam on his dragonfly (only took about 5 minutes) so we're going to stick to non-stuffed toys. Rope toys it is!
The most exciting thing so far today? Dart barked for the first time! He's not a huge barker, which is awesome, but I see the barking as a sign that he is at a new comfort level.
