He's been here two and a half days. We went to the dog park first thing. I was hoping for a poop or at least a high tail. Once again he perked up whenever he saw dogs, ears forward tail up, nose sniffing. He was too forward with an unleashed male of his size who snapped at him and kept snapping and he snapped back. I kept them apart using my feet and the owner was unphazed. you always do this when i'm on the phone he said goodnaturedly to his dog. Baxter seemed a little saddened by the whole thing. He still nosed other dogs with too much enthusiasm, not understanding that there was a wooing process, just like with human friendships, and they responded by not playing, getting annoyed. He's gong to have to learn from his peers. He had a cagemate, supposedly, but that's it for socialization. Really, it's pretty amazing, how well he's doing.
Baxter is peeing less inside more outside but no poop this first walk, though he ate. He seems to have trouble eating dry food, and though he's eating a little more he still doesn't finish.
Second walk of the day was with steve and denise and jammy. it was a first time meet. jammy is a grumpy old lady and not excited to be with Baxter, though steve and denise were. Baxter of course was thrilled.
