[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4240315, member: 45551"] This guy is sharp as a tack. He is CLEARLY housebroke. Went to the door and scratched to go out a couple of times. And he has eaten more today than he did the whole 3 days (?? Or is it 2?? My how time flies when you're having fun! 😊) before. We have come to an "agreement". He can sit outside the open bedroom door and watch the cats as long as he doesn't make noise and scare them. MissPriss still isn't having any part of it. All you can see of her is her beady little eyes out from under the best, or from her perch back in the cave she has made herself on one of the shelves in my sewing room. Harvey will sit on the bed and stare at him but he's not running off so we are making progress. I figure before the end of April we will all be back to going wherever in the house but right now as long as Snoop is where I can see him I trust him. 😉 He does this weird thing with his right back leg -- if he "breaks" a wait (stay) command, or does something he knows he's not supposed to (like try to go out the front door without permission) he acts like his leg is hurt and will hold it up and not walk in it until he's sure he's not in trouble. 🤨 I've read of dogs who've learned this behavior as a "work around" to not have to mind ... Or to get out of trouble ... Because humans are gullible ... But I've never seen it. Until now. Which has me watching Dawg and his limping a little closer. 🤔 Because he's pretty inconsistent about limping. It IS possible that it doesn't hurt all the time but the thing is I'm not seeing any swelling, he's not tender to palpation and when treats are involved he has no problem following commands. 🤷🤷 They are both laying on their beds snoring their little hearts out. 🥰🥰 It is adorable. I will probably start doing a little leash work with him next week. He's not nearly as apprehensive when I reach to let him ... He knows his name and he's good with the commands we use around the house. He and Dawg don't have any issues save the occasional "you're too close to my treat" grumble. All things considered, his integration into the household here has been as seamless as anyone could have ever hoped for. Much MUCH smoother than Dawg's was. I dunno if you guys remember or not but THAT danged mutt very nearly got himself euthanized before he decides to play nice. 😬😬 It is a VERY good thing for him that he was all talk and no bite. 💕💕💕 Snoop is a VERY chill dog. I don't think he would have survived being feral. Some dogs just don't have the personality for it. He's very happy here and will definitely spend the rest of his life just like Dawg -- fat, sassy and VERY spoilt. 🥰🥰 [/QUOTE]
