Hey All,

We are about 1/2 way through our trial adoption with our possible new boy! So far he is fitting in wonderfully. Our only qualms are his extreme separation anxiety...

Yesterday he managed to muscle his way out of his crate, but luckily didn't destroy anything in their room. Today I tried to just leave him in the closed room, lets hope I don't come home to any destroyed walls or floors!

He is a very sweet boy and Kesler just adores him

They look like they are getting along well. He's very handsome. Separation anxiety takes time but I'm sure you'll get him settled in and through it. My girl had pretty crazy separation anxiety for about a month and half after I got her but wandering in and out of the house a lot for yard work and just testing her got her used to it.

I now am thinking that it is a bit more of a claustrophobia thing...he is completely fine if he is not in the crate.

Going to do the crate training gradually with him so that he has no negative connotations with his crate

Congratulations on your new addition, Kiersten! I hope everything works out great with him. He looks like a total sweetheart!

Thanks!! He is doing better with his anxiety everyday! We just love him Now working on picking a new name for him. His current name is Sinatra, while it is cute, it really just doesn't fit our family.

I finally managed to get them to sit still while both looking at the camera!

Aww. What handsome pups! I'm sure they are so happy together.
