Many thanks to all who offered wisdom on how to deal with the two boys fighting. I became extra vigilant and I can say there hasn't been one fight since. I'm not expecting miracles and am working on training, training, training and know they can still fight.
The boys have actually started to play together!!!! I can't even believe it. SEAMUS will initiate play with Bentley. For some reason, all is peaceful here.
Bentley is doing so well, you'd never know that two months ago all he knew was a pen. He is leash trained, house broken, goes up ramps and stairs and doing so well with obedience training. He is eating food....he'll only eat ProPlan, but he is eating and is eating treats as well. He loves bully sticks and toys ( I separate them when giving them bullies) and he LOVES sleeping on a bed. He looks forward to going to our mini orchard outback and getting his favorite Asian pears when I return from work. He goes nuts over them!
He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but definitely is the most loving thing around. My husband adores him. He keeps talking about missing him when he finds a home. There has been no response from rescue yet, so I think he may be staying anyway. Good thing they are getting along.
The only thing he does that reminds me of his former life is the nutty circling when he's loose out in our front yard. That hasn't really lessened yet, but we are working on it.
Photobucket won't upload the photos I wanted to show you of Bentley at the beach and at Doggie Bootcamp, so when I can get it to work, I'll share them.
Just wanted to let you know how he was doing.
Thanks for all the support!
