Pal Joey

This rambunctious 8-month-old came home with us last night to spend the weekend, as we had to clear FOP dogs out of boarding care to make space for incoming spring break clients. This little boy has impossibly soft fur like a rabbit's and teeth like a piranha's. My plans to get a lot of computer projects done this weekend have succumbed to monitoring The Puppy Channel - All Puppy All The Time. (Hey, how come I'm out here on the deck and you're inside the house? Let's playplayplay!)
He and Hunter played well last night but it was exhausting for Hunter when Joey just wouldn't stop - he's fascinated by Hunter's tail and keeps biting it, and last night had decided if Hunter wouldn't play, maybe stomping on him really hard would make him change his mind. Hunter's doing a good job of laying down the law as needed, and of course I am giving him some breaks from the onslaught as well. Joey has also very much enjoyed playing through the fence with Zoe and Angel next door.
But this little guy has a lot of good skills already - no housetraining issues since he got here, and he slept without a sound from 11 pm to when I was ready to get up around 6:30 this morning. I was happy to see that he does in fact have an OFF switch - here he's snoozing by my side. He's a fast learner and eager to please. He has a trial adoption starting on Monday. Sleep well, little man. (Please.)
