Well, I just got back from the vet with the new addition. He tested positive for two tick diseases so with all his meds, blood test, heartworm and adoption fee, this little (27 pounder) red head has cost me $370 today
He still needs to be groomed and then I'll post some pix. So far, Zeus hasn't snapped at him yet and I have him on the leash in the house so I can keep an eye on him.Dar

Well, so far he has peed in the house (marking the couch
) and he just threw up water by my desk. Arrrgghh. I can't wait until we get through the adjustment period.
Right now he is tied up outside while I finish up some work. So far no barking either. Just a little crying when I sent him outside so I could clean up the pee mess. He's a dominant little turd for a neutered male!
Correction: He's barking - a nice bark and woof at the neighbor who just came home!Last edited by mtbdarby; 03-27-2009 at 11:29 AM.

Take him for a long walk--that'll wear him out and he'll settle down. Best of luck!

Congratulations again on your new family member. I am just thrilled for you!
Roadie Gal, when Mr. Sundial comes home I'm gonna share Camerons's picture with him.
He just looks so smart sitting there at the top of the stairs.

Shiloh's doing SO WELL these days. This morning we came across kids waiting for the school bus and he just walked on by them. He did look at them curiously, but he kept walking and didn't cower, try to run, or poop. And this afternoon, we came across two loud and rambunctious 9-year old boys on bikes and they rode their bikes around us (I know them) and Shiloh just kept going, not even pulling on the leash. It's nice to know that he's getting more comfortable and confident. Now if I could just figure out how to get him to just walk on by squirrels...

Shiloh is making progress--yay! It took Niki about 1 year before she came to totally trust me and not want to bolt at the first site of anything new. Originally Posted by tulip

What adorable collies!
Here's a couple "before" pix. The first is him and Zeus checking each other out in the backyard. The second is in the are on the way to the groomers. Notice he's sitting in B's carseat!
