Thank you for checking in on TJ, now named Levi. He is wonderful! He loves his older brother, Moses and his favorite thing, as you might remember, is his tennis ball.
It took him some time to get adjusted due to his high energy level. I had him in training full-time for two weeks and that helped a lot. I think training is an absolute must for adopted dogs speech like Levi that did not have a lot of social skills. That is, social skills with humans. Now that it’s been three months, I think he is learning his routine and his new training and knows this is his home.
He sleeps in the bed curled up next to me, but loves rolling over on his back and sleeping with one leg straight up in the air. So cute. See photo. I think he is very happy here.
