Just wanted to update anyone who is interested that Collins arrived at his new home today. My new minivan came in last night so there was plenty of room for everyone to ride home comfortably (Newman stayed home).
There have been a few growls, alot of vying for mom's attention and my poor kitten (Jasmine) now looks like a porcupine...but all in all things are pretty good.
Newman doesn't understand why we had to bring Collins home, but in time I think they will be good for each other. They are a little jealous, but that is too be expected.
Right now, Collins is at Rich's feet and Newman is at my feet and God only knows where the 2 cats are.
Please remember us in your prayers as we go through the adjustment phase. 300lbs is ALOT of dawg to have to go through this phase with. But like I said...there have been FEW growls and NO baring of teeth so things are looking good.
I do want to thank Collins' mom and dad for letting us take their boy into our home and love him. He is a wonderful boy.
Oh, a little funny story. After we got home from GA, we took Newman and Collins for a walk. My husband was walking Collins who was walking like a prince. No pulling, no tugging. I was walking Newman who acts like he should be walking you. Pulling, tugging, running, etc. I really think I got the raw end of the deal in that walk!
By the way, Newman DID go through obedience school and on the last day, he FORGOT his name!
Newfoundly yours,
shawn, Newman, and Collins
