Tanner is adjusting well to the Johnson household. It's been a little over 2 months since he came to live with us and a lot has changed. He no longer pants and paces the house and I think he realizes that this is his new home. He quickly caught on to eating in his crate like the other boys and has started sleeping on anything that is on the floor (his blanket, Oliver's play mat, any blanket I put down for Oliver, towels, etc. etc.) Sometimes he sleeps in bed with us but most nights he is content to sleep on his towel on the floor next to our bed. He had a dental cleaning and two teeth had to be removed but it didn't even faze him. The vet thinks he probably sees very little given how he responded during his vision test (I guess they put their fingers really close to their eyes and see if they flinch/have a menace reflex which he didn't) and he runs into me/stationary objects about 3 times a day. The best part? He came to us weighing 24.4 pounds and is down to 21.2 pounds thanks to the Chris Johnson Workout Plan (which equates to nightly walks when Chris isn't on call).
I spent a good part of my day telling Tanner and the other 2 boys "don't sit on the baby," "don't lick the baby's mouth," "Oliver can't pet you he's too young" etc. etc. Ollie loves all the boys and smiles and squeals at them which makes all the not so fun parts of dog ownership worth it.
