Happy Endings - Yoda
What
a wonderful addition Yoda is to our family. We can not believe he
has been with us for a week. He is settling in quite nicely...helping
himself to the couch, grabbing tissue from the trash, etc., all
the things you do when you are comfortable in your surroundings.
So we take these tricks as a good sign. Wrigley seems to tolerate
Yoda's presence but doesn't interact unless we are rumbling with
Yoda and then she trys to quash the fun. She has shown some signs
of jealousy but overall Wrigley is fine. The kids adore Yoda as
he is much more attentive than Wrigley. He follows me everywhere,
which I enjoy. We bought Yoda a nest but he seems to prefer the
floor or Drew's bed. We are quite proud of his physical improvement.
The first few days Yoda was absolutely exhausted. Between running
in the back yard and taking multiple walks, the poor boy was tired.
Many times he would just sit down in the middle of the street and
we would have to carry him home. Maybe he was a little sore, who
knows. But now, he does the full loop with Bo and Wrigley in the
evening and is often times in the lead. We are convinced that he
was fed table scraps as he likes to jump up when we are sitting
down at the table; as such, he is not too keen on dog food. So,
we spice his food up with carrots or apples and he eats in the same
time as Wrigley. We are soooo happy to have Yoda. I can not tell
you what a pleasure it is to have a non-alpha around the house.
Between the humans and the black pug, there are too many of us in
charge! Last time I weighed Yoda, he had dropped a pound and was
down to 26 pounds. He is looking good. I am so glad you emailed
to inquire. I wanted to let you and Candice know that Yoda is very
content and a part of the Boxold clan.
Take care, Melinda Boxold
