Yippeee...I'm retired!

Pluto is certainly taking to his retirement...err, lack of living in a racing kennel (since he wasn't much of a racer).  He follows me all around the house and loves attention.  Today was his first full day alone since my husband and I worked from home yesterday.  We kenneled him and put the girls in the room with him, and he was happy as a clam.  As long as he has his pack or his people, he's a happy, goofy boy. 

There isn't much that scares or startles him.  He is learning the word 'No' and is progressing on his sitting skills.  Last night, he sat on the 'screaming monkey' toy, which proceeded to shriek...again, and again, and again.  Pluto looked around to see what was up, but then settled down on top of the shrieking monkey despite the noise underneath his rear end.  I was laughing so hard, I could pop.

Callie is beyond jealous and has tried to take back her former kennel.  She also steals the toys and takes them upstairs to my closet.  It's probably because Pluto seems to favor our other female (Tiny) who is a foot shorter than him.  He gets nose to nose with her, his tail goes straight up into the air and waggles around.  It's adorable!   He is big and strong, and not real graceful...but what can you expect from a boy.  <wink>
