Rewley Day 2

Rewley had a big day today. It started off with a lot of tail chasing. In fact, he hasn't quite realized that his tail is actually his. While we were all in the kitchen, he started really going after his tail, and when he caught it, he bit it so hard he whimpered - and this went on for a good minute, biting and whimpering! He hasn't done it since, so it seem he's learned that when he bites the "mystery tail", it hurts. We've also made sure he has a Nylabone to chew on, which he seems to enjoy.

After lunch, we took him to the local vet. Our friend Nicole recommended the place, and we really liked it. Of course, it's all expensive right now because he was due for his second round of vaccinations, but altogether, we were happy with Canine Companions. He was such a good boy despite being poked, prodded and stuck with needles. He even had to have one vaccine given by drops into his nose! Here he is relaxing on Paul's lap at the vet's.

But, we have had a little trouble, which is our fault. Last night we had him in a cardboard box with some old towels and a blanket, which seeemd like a pretty nice and safe dog bed to us. But, Rewley prefered to chew the cardboard rather than sleep in it, and then figured out he could just fit under our king size bed. So, my wonderful husband took him into the penned in kitchen, cuddled him to sleep on the kitchen floor and then slept on the couch next to the kitchen so Rewley wouldn't be lonely.

This morning I bought him a crate, so he should be safe sleeping in our bedroom. So far, he loves to jump right into his new den, and settles down quickly if we close the gate. Fingers crossed that it will be a quiet night!
