Levi

We have been working on socializing [Levi, now named Inky] with people and dogs. We have been taking him to dog classes to build our trust in one another. Every Sunday, when the weather is nice, we go to the Farmers Market in the city where we visit his favorite vendor who sells dog treats! He likes to run around with some of his fur buddies, wrestle with his golden retriever bff, and go on a pack walk with a few of the neighborhood doggies. His favorite times of the day are breakfast and dinner! A few people have told us that he looks more confident and looks more at home. It took him a week to get comfortable with my husband, his papa. Now, Inky always initiates playtime with him when he gets home from work. He is currently snuggled up under my blanket and on my legs. He is a lap dog for sure! Our home feels like a home again. My husband and I are more of a homebody, but after adopting Inky, we have become more of a social butterfly to ensure that we are socializing him to build his confidence with people, dog, and himself!---Lucky and Ernest, 21Jan2024.
