Puppy updateishness.

Well, it looks like the honeymoon is finally over. After all the games of grab-rump, grab-tail, and hip-squeeze that I've been playing with BJ over the past couple of months, he's FINALLY getting it into his little poochie-brain that it's alright to *gasp* really play. While it's taking an act of Dog-God to get him to actually chew on one of his large, breath-aid chew thingies, he's doing it. And now, now that I've been playing with him a good deal at home, too, he's actually wanting to guard it from me. The whole, put it between the paws and chew on down, even though the texture isn't is fave, thing. Hell, when I'm threatening it, there's no growling, no barking, but his ears perk, and his paws 'magically' find their way atop my own hands, just to make sure. He's so disgustingly cute. :)

It shows there is actually hope for him to be mostly an actual, real dog again, and be fairly thrilled with his life, despite the whole collar and leash thing.

I'm sooooo glad the loving home treatment has taken and he's adjusting to a normal dog state. ^.^

Well, I am too. Assuming we're talking a normal dog state of something beyond eating, crapping/pissing and sleeping that is. He's had that one down since the beginning. ;)
