Caspian is having another happy and relaxing day. He seems to be a bit tired today, which is expected after being with us for a full week now. He has constant activity all day long and even in the evenings and night time he has other dogs around to interact with making it a big doggie party for most of his time. We are planning on having him go home for a night or two with Samantha so he can have a bit of complete rest with her and her mellow basset hound. We think he needs some quite time where he can have lots of time to chill out.
He has mastered "down", "wait" and is on his way to achieving "leave it." He also has learned a trick "spin" which he thinks is great fun!
I observed playing last evening with two puggles (a cross between a pug and a beagle) he was so funny with them. They would run under a raised platform along the wall used for sleeping and observing by the daycare dogs, and Caspian would chase them and then turn around and they would pop out from under the platform and chase him. They were all so full of delight...tails wagging like wild with huge smiles on their faces. I left smiling too.
Like the rest of us Caspian is getting tired of the rain. When we walked outside yesterday he tried to duck back in the door to avoid the rain. He gave me a look as if to say "Really, this is not my idea of a fun walk...how about we go out for a quick pee and then go crash on your couch?"
And speaking of pee (isn't that a wonderful topic to blog about?!) We are confident that Caspian knows how to ask to go outside to do his "doggie business". When he is working in the concierge lounge we have noticed that he gets up, goes to the door, circles a few times, whines and looks at the door. This is his signal to go outside. Each time that he has done this behavior is is taken out and he immediately does his doggie business!
