Thank you all for the warm welcome!
Rhett is doing very well, better than we could have hoped for. He and Meika spend their days playing, lounging, and getting to know each other. Training is progressing, Rhett is quickly picking up on some of the basics and responding well to positively reinforced methods. While our first walk (with both dogs) was a bit disorganized, the following outings have gone very well!
Rhett is getting used to new objects and noises. He is very curious when people ride by on bicycles! He also enjoys trying to determine where the train noise is coming from. We've also introduced him to a very small Chinese crested terrier (a friend's dog) and he did extremely well, even began to play towards the end of the engagement.
Rhett is also falling in place with our "pack". He respects the boundaries we've set and it seem to be beneficial to his acclimation.
We are extremely happy with our new family member and we look forward to posting more updates. Pictures to come soon!
