Marmaduke is a sweet, gentle boy who comes over often for hugs and kisses. He loves his stuffies and he is a bit of a hoarder. Yesterday, as the other boys looked on longingly, I had to retrieve some from his crate for general use. He is a bit apprehensive of new situations right now. I do not know if this is temperamental or if it is a product of all the changes he's experienced over the past few months. We'll be gently working to encourage his time out of the crate. Right now, he is happy to be there just about all of the time, although his door is always open. Tonight, we are going to venture outside the yard and take a walk around the neighborhood.
He slept through the night last night in his crate in the family room (it's too large to fit into our bedroom). He did not cry in the night. If he decides he would rather sleep near the humans, we have a place ready for him in the bedroom with the pack, although our beds will not accommodate this big boy so we will have to double them up.
We are very much enjoying this sweetie and so happy to help him adjust to retirement and fully recuperate. I'll blog regularly so watch for updates and photos here.
