Today was the first day with Betel in the car at the garage at work. It was very tiring, and I still have about 100 things left to do tonight, among them, more work for a meeting tomorrow morning.
So, in brief: Betel did great in the car. He's not crazy about it, but then again, it's totally new to him. Juggling him and Odin and leashes and food and water and toys is a bit much, and I think I can relate to those moms with screaming kids who look a little harried.
It was day 2 with no accidents. We think he might weigh a little more, but he's sleeping now so I'm not going to disturb him to find out. My co-workers came down to meet him, and he was the obliging puppy - licking everyone's faces and chewing on whatever was the nicest part of their outfit.
He gets the hiccups at least once a day, he's good about sleeping in his crate (he goes into it on his own in the morning) but letting us know he needs to go out (about twice during the night, but sometimes more), he is still mouthy and jumps up and wants to be on your lap or near your face, he doesn't eat very much - still less than a cup a day (but he gets treats in the car which he goes crazy about the hot dog), and he still has little pointy nails that I will cut this weekend.
He jumps at Odin and then barks at him, because Odin doesn't really want to play with him. He's funny when he gets all wound up and runs around with the crazies. He's ignoring me some when I call him, but I had him on the leash today and he walked right behind Odin like the leash was no big thing. Odin is being an obliging older brother, but has to growl and bark when Betel gets too pushy, which is odd for Odin.
Betel chases Echo, sniffs Bella, and is scared of Watanabe. Which pretty much matches their cat personalities.
Off to do chores will Kevin keeps a watchful eye on the sleeping B.
