The two new boys are adjusting to their new surroundings very nicely. We ask nothing of them until they are relaxed, comfortable with us and are used to everything. These youngsters seem like they will be very good at learning their new routine. After all, they only have to watch the reactions of every other pooch to see what is normal and expected of them, then they imitate.
It was amazingly quiet yesterday. Not that Rotts are barkers like some other breeds, but they don't hesitate to voice their opinion when required and of course, there are the nightly songs! Yesterday, it was as though everyone appreciated that the new guys were nervous, stressed and lacked confidence. So there was utter silence until about 7pm. Then things went back to normal.
We were first greeted with wiggling bodies by the two new guys when I went to say "hi" to everyone late afternoon. I thought it might be a fluke, but nevertheless, there were 2 skinny bodies, shaking, wiggling and wagging all over the place and very happy at my arrival.
This morning during treat deliveries, it was clear that it wasn't a fluke. The skinny boys were quite happy in their new environment and could shimmy and shake with the best of them! Uncle Sebastian was on one side and Aunt Unique on the other, both very stabilizing influences for the youngsters.
These gentle treat takers are adjusting well. Their appetites are quite good, so maybe it was just a lack of food, rather than a lack of interest. It's good to see them eat!
Today is their first full day, looks like it will be a good one!
