Hunter is AMAZING! We love him so much. He is absolutely perfect for our family.
The girls and I just got back from a 2 hour stroll around the neighbourhood with him. He is very excited and smelling everything in sight. He has met a couple of the neighborhood dogs, and done very well. The squirrels do get him excited though. Overall, I am so impressed with how well behaved he is. He is such a sweetheart. I can not believe how quickly he is bonding to us (and us to him also). He really feels comfortable with our family, and the girls just love him. My oldest daughter has wanted a dog for a few years, and we wanted to wait until the youngest was old enough, and until we were ready for the committment. Now that we have Hunter it just seems so perfect. We are so happy. Actually, as we can home from our walk tonight Crag was getting home from work, so he has taken him out again for another walk around the block.
Can you remind me when he should go for his next shots (booster?) Was it 2 months? (end of August).
Also, what brand of food was he eating? And how often was he fed, ie)morning, night or both. He did eat one bowl of food, but he has not had a big appetite, and no poo yet. Perhaps the long drive upset his routine/system!?
He traveled home in a crate we borrowed, and last night when it was time for bed, he did not want us to leave him, he did end up crawling into the kennel/crate and sleeping there. Not sure if he was crate trained, or if it was just because he got used to that on the drive home. I did buy him a really nice soft bed/pillow. I guess we will see how it goes tonight. When I got him out in the morning he was coughing/sneezing/wheezing for quite a few minutes at the start of the day, although it did stop after several minutes. Any idea what that might be? Allergies, cough, or is it a normal thing?
Anyways, thank you again. I really appreciate all you have done for us, and my experience dealing with you was excellent. You were so nice and accomodating and helpful with info, and made us feel so good about our decision to adopt Hunter, and it was so worth it, even if we (Crag) did have to drive all day to get him. Even though it has only been 24 hours, now that he is part of our family, I can not imagine life without him.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I can not thank you enough.
Esther, Crag, Jaime, Chelsea
PS I am sending you the only picture I have taken so far. I took this tonight of Jaime and Hunter at her school field. I am usually photograph crazy and I take pictures of EVERYTHING, but I wanted to let Hunter get settled first, and get used to us, and then I will take lots more pics. I will send some your way soon.
