The First full week

Patrick is adjusting very well to his new home. He has become a very loving part of our family. Snowy(our 5 y/o German Sheppard) is now accepting him in her territory. They are becomming good companions & play buddies. Patrick has found himself a place that he likes to think of as his, our loveseat.




Home is where I can get Comfy!








This past Tuesday night we all had to go out for a few hours. We set up a room as a puppy pen, complete with an escape proof gate( yes we found one that he can't climb ). We placed a couple of freshly washed flannel sheets in there for him to lay on. Snowy, at this point, was still not too sure of him, but we expected her to at least check on him thru the gate. What we found when we got home was great. Snowy met us at the door as usual, but Patrick was very quiet, calm, and only a little excited. We wondered why he was behaving so well. We found out rather quickly when we picked up the sheets. There was a large area that had been matted down, a little to big for it to have been made by Patrick. As we looked closer, there was the tell tale long white hair from Snowy on the sheets. Patrick must have carried on and Snowy didn't like it. She had jumped the gate & went in with Patrick to comfort him. That is when she really warmed up to him, so we are kind of glad that we left them alone for a couple of hours.



This morning Dana caught us having some "guy time" in my recliner. When she took this picture, Patrick winked as if to say, Yup, I OWN him.
