I'm pleasantly surprised at how well our adoption of Frank is going. It will be three weeks tomorrow. He is really a super sweet dog. He is a cuddler and follows me everywhere. He plays great with Sam although I was unprepared as to how rough two big labs can be! Our only issue so far has been the crate, and this week we have gotten rid of it. This week I had been crating him until the dog walker came and then I had her leave him free in the house. Until yesterday when we decided to give all day a try. We had no issues! Yay! Frank is so funny. He loves to chew his toys on our bed. At any given time, there are 3 or 4 toys on our bed. Sam isn't near as playful as Frank and it makes me wonder if frank's a lot younger. The vet estimated his age at 18-24 months so I don't know. All in all, I'm very happy we adopted. I look at this wonderful loving creature and it breaks my heart to think of him ever being mistreated. He was rescued from a miserable life tied to a tree out in the cold so I know things weren't great for him. Fortunately he seems to have put his past behind and is embracing his new life with us !
