Betel is cute. He and Odin are playing together already. The play usually starts with a lot of growling from Odin, then a play bow, then a down, then he gets on his side so Betel can clamber around on top of him. It is adorable. Odin still needs lots of down-time, but he is adapting really well and seems to enjoy Betel. Of course, Betel worships his older brother and follows him all around trying to do whatever he does. Odin pees, Betel pees. Odin drinks, Betel drinks.
Betel also appears to maybe be more intelligent than Odin. (Shocking!) He is definitely louder. He has already figured out how to ring the bells to go outside, how to use the cat door to get out into the cat cage to use the bathroom, and he went about half an hour ago into his crate to sleep. Now Odin is in there sleeping on the bed. How cute.
The switch to staying at home is going well. There is still rain predicted, and I'm not sure if I'll keep him in the car on the rainy days or if I'll leave him in the room. It is a LOT easier to go home at lunch than to lug him and Odin upstairs twice (sometimes three times) from the parking garage.
Betel is up to 11 pounds. When we got him, two weeks ago, he was 7. Two pounds a week isn't bad when you start at 7 pounds. In the photos, I can already see a difference. Odin got big fast, so I expect in another week he won't fit under the couch anymore.
