Dart's first day

Dart did really well at our first contact. I could tell he was stressed out over the long drive and was overwhelmed by all the new things. He vomited his food up on the way to drop my nephew off, it seemed a matter of a long drive and nerves.

Dart met Mom, Dad, Ayden, and Peewee. He and Peewee got along but didn't really play with each other. Peewee kept her eye on Dart anytime he was near her toys and bed, but it was always from afar. Dart seemed a bit skittish around my dad - but I don't think he has any problems with men. I honestly think it's all of the new people. I'll keep an eye on it and post if there are any issues.

When he vomited we needed to clean him up. He was not a fan of being rinsed off, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was all related to being in a whole new place.

Dart did a lot of exploring but always came back to check in with me. When we got home we played out in the yard until Ryan got home. He was skittish but interested and friendly, which leads me to believe that the skittishness with my dad was just about newness.

Dart and Frank (the cat) met and regarded each other for a few moments. Frank got growly and seems to have more issues with Dart than Dart has with him. Frank ate some of Dart's food. Dart saw him and had absolutely no aggression. He is a bit of an opportunist. He likes empty t.p. rolls and tries to sneak off with socks, but will drop things when caught.

Dart has really gotten comfortable in the last day. He is full of energy and loves to be next to someone. It is obvious that he wants nothing more than love. I have not yet heard him bark.

Dart is a total mama's boy. He likes Ryan, but always comes back to check in on me. It's really sweet.
