Otto is doing great! He is so happy to have a home, especially now that the weather is getting colder. Otto even has his own collar and tags now--the real sign that he has people! He loves to be loved. He still has some manners to learn, but he has made such good progress. He sits on command now and this week he has learned "get down" when he gets on the couch. When he first came home, he was afraid of so many things. He wouldn't leave the living room/kitchen area and he was afraid of the cats. Now he loves to come into my bedroom and sleeps on the bed with our other dog. It's a good thing I have a king-sized bed! He doesn't understand why the cats don't want to play with him now, either. Conquering his fear of the stairs is next. Keeping him in bones and other chew toys is a challenge since he goes through them very quickly!! Overall, he is just a love and we can't imagine our home without him!
Our best wishes to our Humane Society friends!!
