So much to learn!

Just a quick update to say that Primco is such a sweet loving guy! He has accomplished a few new things this week. The basement stairs are no longer a problem, even with the TV on he comes down and lays in the room with us. Although the other night, hubby was watching one of the Mummy movies, and Primco layed at the top of the stairs for about a half hour. Then eventualy he did come the whole way down. It's amazing what the smell of Doritoes can do for your confidence! He used to be a little leary of the ice maker in our fridge. We have it on the crushed ice setting, so it makes a bit of a racket when you fill your glass. Now he comes right up hoping that a piece will fall to the floor just for him. Sudden noises can still unsettle him a bit, but he quickly recovers and goes back to whatever it was that he was doing.

Dinner time is much less chaotic now. He patiently waits while I feed our other hound first. Then he follows me to his crate, waits until I fill his bowl, and then hops in to eat his dinner. I don't shut the crate door, but since he was fed last, it gives our slower-eating hound a chance to finish in peace. Even if Primco finishes first, just a quiet word will keep him away from the other food dish. Then of course both dogs switch bowls to make sure that the other did not leave anything behind!
