Edgar's Happy Tail

HI Karen, thank you for the photo! Great of Edgar, not so good of me! He's much more photogenic! Edgar (my adult kids are sending me lists of names because they don't think Edgar is good enough for him!) is sooooo sweet! He's been wonderful. Not so good with the cats, though. Running cats are much different than cats in cages, I guess. My one cat, is fine with him. She will glare at him, and he knows not to mess with her. They even ate a morning treat almost side by side this morning. They will be just fine. My younger cat is a runner. She has never walked through the house. She is a little race car, and of course that gets his terrier instincts going. so, she runs because she can, then he chases, and she gets scared and hides upstairs. I think they will be fine, but it will take a LONG time for them. Meanwhile, I've moved her food and water and litter box upstairs, so if she doesn't want to come down, she doesn't have to.

I'm surprised at how well he listens already! He understands "NO" very well! Also, when left in his crate downstairs the last 2 nights when I go to bed, he will whine and bark a little bit. As soon as I say "Edgar be quiet", he is immediately quiet and sleeps quietly the rest of the night. He loves to walk, and is going to make a great walking partner. He is signed up for obedience classes at Petsmart starting in Jan. because I want him to be an extremely well behaved house dog. He already is, but I need to know how to keep him that way!

I love HIM! My kids, granddaughter and assorted inlaws are coming for a late Thanksgiving on Sat. and they will all love him!

As I'm typing on the computer here, he is sleeping in his crate with the door open. I only lock him in at night, and if my younger cat ever comes downstairs, I will lock him in for a little while then, too.

Tomorrow he gets his stitches out, his physical, his microchip in, and also I am having them check his skin because he's still so "itchy". I don't think he can still have fleas!

Thank you Karen for responding to my email so quickly. If you hadn't I would have missed getting this wonderful little guy. I will send you an update in a few weeks or so, as I get to know him better. Marge
