Tuttle Arrives

Tuttle has arrived and he is a wiggly, sweet and sassy little guy who loves to tear around. We are still learning more about him but so far we know he loves to chase after things and his favorite thing seems to be chasing after Frodo so we are making sure that Frodo gets a break from him. It's a game to Tuttle but old Frodo is a bit overwhelmed.

Bath time wasn't his favorite but he tolerated it well

Tuttle loves to play and wrestle and since none of the dogs at our house really like to play he has kept himself busy throwing toys for himself and chasing after them. He learned his lesson that when a grown up dog lets you know politely that they don't want to play, muzzle punching them to get them to change their mind isn't a great course of action. That was lesson number 1 from Chima. She was very tolerant and the first time he did it she merely curled her lip but when he didn't listen to that she opened her mouth wide and dang near roared. She didn't move and didn't even bother to look at him but he got what she was saying loud and clear "THAT IS ENOUGH, YOUNG MAN!" He jumped back and left her alone for a whole minute before he tried again.

I'm guessing as he learns to take it down a notch and Chima gets to know him a little better that they will actually enjoy playing together since they both like to play loud and rough. We'll take introductions slow though so he doesn't irritate the big kids too much and once they are used to him then they'll get more free time together.

All cleaned up and ready to play
