Merry Christmas!

Cruze and some of his Leader Dog friends + 1 Service Dog wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Acceptance

When we get a new puppy, Shiloh is very "stand-offish". At first he ignores them, then he will occasionally let them touch him, and as they get a little older he will begin to play with them. When he decides they are really here to stay, he will let them lay next to him. But sleeping on the same bed is a sure sign that he has accepted them as a member of his family even if they can still be pretty irritating when awake.

(Do you think we need to buy a second bed?)

Lessons from Luther

Luther, (Pastor Edrye's dog) came to stay for a couple of days this week and it went well. He would put up with Cruze's "in your face" style of play for just so long then he would give a growl, raise a paw, and hold Cruze down on his back until he settled down. Cruze needs a little more of this to learn his place, I think; but it never stopped him from going back for more.

Cruzin thru the Weekend

This weekend was a busy one for Cruze. On Friday evening he had his first city bus ride in East Lansing and a walk through the Folk Festival. Sunday was church and the making of a new "best friend", followed by a long nap under his bed. Life is good...

How did you spend your weekend?
