Rusty and home life

Rusty is learning quickly that he's really enjoying home life. The comfy couch, the playmates, the yummy food and snacks and the on demand pets from the hoomans.

He's definitely still has lots of puppy in him left, but the potty trained bladder is great. He is not as great at giving signs that he needs to go potty, so we go at regular intervals. He has not messed in his crate since we've had him. 

When he is hyper, he can get real riled up for fun. But he can be chill and loves laying by the cooler floors or by the door or windowsills. He is the best at listening to the "lay down" command when mommy wants calming time. 

We are working on his leash manners, he loves to dig and pull. He's so ready for an adventure! He's gentle with the cat, unlike his counterpart. The cat will actually come out of hiding when he sees Rusty. 

He still things he's a lap dog, his silky smooth fur sliding into your lap to snuggle. He's learning the chair by the window allows him to people watch. 

We successfully trimmed up some unmatched ends and his paws today. Some convincing snuggling and treats were great motivation. Can practice more for comfort.
