Welcome to my dog blog! It's been over 20 years since I've had a dog and the first time I've taken on the responsibility of taking care of a dog. I've got a feeling it's gonna be and interesting ride!

Day Two
Today was relatively uneventful. Last night Rowdy slept in the carrier without incident. I believe he likes it in there, as he would return when he wanted to nap today. I still noticed some fleas on him so I had him ride along to the store to get some of that once a month flea and tick killer. Other than wanting to stand on my lap while I was driving, he rode well in the car. I had to scoot him over to the passenger seat several times and when we went through the drive-thru at Braum's, he wanted to greet the attendant too.
I took him for his first walk on a leash and he did pretty well. He did try to stop and smell the roses frequently though. There was one area that there was a couple of big dogs in the yard barking at him and he didn't want to pass by so we took a longer way around them. I would have drug him past them, but I wanted to get him used to and enjoy the walks before I have to force him to go past these obstacles.
I put him in the back yard for a little while and set his food and water out there with him and he finally ate, so that was a relief. Tomorrow he goes to work with me, so I'll see how he does at the shop. I've also got to make arrangements for his shots and other stuff. I noticed more fleas so I'm going to see if I can get him dipped also!
When he was at the farm, he loved to chew on sticks so I got him a rawhide stick and he went to town on it. Notice he likes to lay with his hind legs out behind him, funny dog!
