Things have been going well getting Bruce settled in. He's a pretty laid back pup, I would say the complete opposite of Sophie as a pup. She was a spawn of satan puppy, and thankfully Bruce is much more biddable. He had some issue with being crated the first couple days, but it's getting better. Sophie has a bladder the size of a beach ball, Bruce the size of a mustard seed. The first two nights he wee'd in the crate, and has gotten me up at 1am, and 4 am each morning so far. Last night he was dry in the crate.
I'm trying to get his feeding schedule adjusted as we've have a couple cases of bile vomit. So I've put him back on 4 feeds a day. I'm sure the fasting for over 15 hours on his trip over the pond messed with his schedule.
I don't think Sophie quite knows what to make of him. She's a bit of a brute, and does play hard with other dogs. This moring out in the yard she charged at Bruce a full speed, I think expecting him to run like her other buddies do. He saw her coming and just submitted, and she slammed on the brakes and almost trampled him. I don't think she's figured out why he doesn't run, and he falls down a lot!
I had him to the Vets on Thursday, but in the rush I forgot to grab the poo sample and take it with me, so I took it in Friday. One of the girls behind the counter gave me this pitiful look and said, "I can't beleive I missed Bruce yesterday! Everyone is talking about him and I didn't get hold him!" To say that the staff at my vets love my dogs would be a gross understatement!!
All in all, I think he's a happy little guy with a great personality, and I'm looking forward to the journey!!
Bitey face with big Sis!!!
Snoozing!

He's so dang cute! Don't worry Sophie, you'll figure him out.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Beautiful glossy black dogs! They look so natural together. Must be fun to watch them get to know each other!

Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.
