Bo gets up when you do. You will see him crawling out of the blankets to follow. He sleeps under the covers, always trying to nestle somewhere cozy. Then he goes potty outside and comes in for breakfast. Bo eats and then does some laying around by the cat or looking out the window. He probably does some napping too. If we have to work he gets crated--although I feel he would free roam well--as long as any sandals are put away (he likes to grab a naw on those). Otherwise, he is playing with the big dog or being entertained with toys. If you're keeping busy around the house, he will follow along like a little shadow. He gets a dental stick and treats in between his meals. Then goes for a walk where he does his own thing, smells and bops around. He'll come back and relax, go play in the yard, and then get his 2nd/last meal of the day. Before bed Bo goes out to potty. He loves cuddling and snuggingling in the blankies. He is gonna be an awesome fuurrrever dog--whoever adopts Bo will be very blessed!
He barks at neighbors or strangers passing by at first but doesn't take long to settle down. I feel he would do okay in a quiet apartment complex--if it's too noisy he may bark more often. There hasn't been a human Bo has had a problem with--he loves when the giants get down on his level and give him pets, mainly belly rubs!
Bo should be supervised as he gets nervous with their fast movements around kids--but after some time he does let them pet him. If he isn't feeling it, he just follows me and tries to stay away from kids.
He is a little guy so his pulls aren't strong. Bo does alright harnessed and leashed. He needs frequent redirection or he will do his thing being absorbed by all the scents and sounds.
Bo lived with the 75lb resident dog and another foster who was 45lb. He loved running with the big dogs! He always has a big bark at first but then loves to play. Bo enjoys the neighbor dogs.
He goes to the cat room and visits and will say “hi” when they come out. They will lay out on the deck together. He is awesome with the cats!
He is crated to keep him and our big dog separate and he does well. Bo is calm and quiet in the crate.
Bo is being treated for Ehrlichia with antibiotics. He does not show any active signs of infection and is being treated as a precaution. A dental is recommended within the next 1-2 years due to tartar accumulation. In the meantime, he can eat dental treats to help prevent any further tartar accumulation.
Bo likes to carry around sandals--we have been keeping ours put away and he doesn't grab anything else he shouldn't. When folding clothes, he will try to eat the dryer sheet, so just makes sure it's out of reach. Silly boy Bo! (:
