We’ve had a great first full day with Starsky! He’s very smart and 100% puppy! He’s either eating, sleeping or trying to chew it!! And we just love him!!
Yesterday, he was a bit subdued and didn’t do a lot of playing and was a bit quiet. That all changed today. He and Max have been in a few scuffles although Starsky thinks Max is just playing when in reality, Max wants to tear him up! LOL But Max realizes that Starsky could take him out in one false swoop of his big ol’ paw!! Since Starsky has been loosening up some, he’s also doing a lot of nibbling on hands and has an obsession with toes. So the kids have been a little skittish around him because they have a hard time keeping him away. Although Nate is still doing much better with him than I anticipated, he’s also a little scared of him today and I really think it’s because he nibbled on Nate’s toes this morning. Poor kid, I tried explaining to him that Starsky is just a baby and likes to chew on things but I don’t think he understands.
Oh and last night went much better than I expected. We put him in the crate around 10pm and then we went straight to bed. He (and Max, who typically doesn’t bark) barked for 25 minutes and then was quiet the rest of the night. We didn’t hear another peep out of him until this morning at 5:30 when the kids got up.
And some more pics!
Starsky was SO not interested in playing with the toy until Max wanted to play!
Max barking at Starsky! What you can’t see is that Starsky was barking right back at him!
Such a handsome boy!
His newest game – chewing on his new tags!!
Taking a break from playing with his toy.
Tonight he was all tuckered out!
Look at that pink puppy skin! He played hard today!
