Thanks everyone.

Tulip, glad to hear about Shiloh's progress - what a good handler you are!

We made it through the night incident free. I started him off in a popup crate I found at Walmart. It's nylon and can be buckled into the car. My sons nap mat from Kindergarten fits perfectly in there so I just put a sheet over it. He did a very low cry a couple times then went to sleep.

About 5:30 he started making these hacking sounds so I left them both out for a potty break. Then they BOTH jumped in my bed! I was waiting for Zeus's reaction but he did fine. I just made sure he was up by me and the new guy was at the foot of the bed. We did fine for another couple hours.

I made the mistake of going outside with them not on leashes. Red took off exploring but Zeus stayed put. This guy so needs a name so I can start training him to stay and come! He didn't eat all his breakfast though - a half cup of kiddle with 1 oz of ground turkey soaked in water. He went right for the water dish again and started draining it. I'll see if I can give him a couple drops of rescue remedy in case it's nerves. I'll call the vet if he's still doing it on Monday.

He has episodes of sneezing and hacking and woke up with very goopy eyes. This morning I hid his medicine in a piece of ground turkey because he didn't like me in his mouth yesterday. At least he ate it. My other dog always knew when I was hiding something and would spit the pill out.

After my coffee we're going for our first walk to check out the neighborhood. Too bad it's only 30 degrees! I'm also going to call the nursing home and see if it's ok to bring him with Zeus. I don't really want to leave him home alone so early.

Bryce may be in for disappointment. This dog follows me EVERYWHERE. He's worse than Zeus! Right now I'm flanked by them on the couch, lol. B so wants this to be his dog so I hope they bond. Any ideas how to help them do so??
