OMG is all I can say (wait, did I say that before about him too??), this
dog is amazing! For having lived his whole life in the mill, I am
amazed at how well he as adapted to life in a house. We keep him gated
in the kitchen away from the other 4, and he is very quiet and well
behaved-will whine once in awhile if he sees us and we don't go pet
him, but then lays down in his bed. He is curious about the other 4
dogs, but there has been no growling through the gate-so hopeful he will
be good with them. He did not go to the bathroom once in the house
yesterday ( this is what I am most amazed by) and he seems to wait to go
till he is outside. We actually don't crate him, although the crate is
in the kitchen with him, as I don't want him to go to the bathroom in
the crate-as he is probably used to it from how he used to live. He will
follow me around the yard when we go out and when he is done his
business, sprints back to the house. He is very energetic for 7, but not hyper. He wants to snuggle up in my lap,
but it's like he doesn't really know how, so he will lay with his body
on the floor and his front paws and head in my lap-it's adorable. He
loves his "loofah" toy (which is bigger than he is) and runs around the
kitchen with it-I am assuming it is his first toy ever. He does seem
fearful of the leash-although it may be things near his head in
general-which is how my resident puppy mill momma is too-is fine with
petting, but if you get a towel or blanket near her head, she hates it.
He has a harness on his wish list-so this may help a bit with leash
training if the the leash is further back away from his head. We have a
vet appt Monday to get him checked out, he will need neutering too at a
later date. Cooper is going to make someone really happy, he is just so
lovable and sweet and craves affection-I really feel he will be an easy
placement.....
