Thought I would give you some update on Mo.  I have an appointment to have his neuter stitches removed on Monday. I have noticed that he has no apparent hearing at all.  The other dogs will cuss him out and he pays no mind to it at all. His vision is better than we thought.  He will pull strings out of sweatshirts and has a fetish for electrical cords or should I say cords of any kind. I have not noticed him running into anything at all. Because of his cord fetish I have decided that it is best for him to be crate trained.  It is best for him at night and when I am not at home to keep an eye on him. He does not seem to mind it except when it is time to go in, then once in he settles down. He has done well in the house and has only left me a present twice.  One of each flavor.  He is adapting to the stairs very well.  When I or the other dogs go outside he bounds right down them. He seems to be skittish on his own coming up and going down. When I try to assist him he wants to run from me, so I sit at the table and he will bark and whine but then he figures it out and comes right up.

   Mo I think is very people oriented because he wants to be right next to you all the time. I think that part of his problem may be hyperactive. He can chew on a rawhide, drop it and want to play with a toy, then want to chew on the rawhide. If I don't give him the attention he requires than he will surf the counter, table, chew on my remote controls or basically anything he can get a hold of. 

 

 He is learning his place in the pack with the others. He is also starting to respect their space. He has learned that even though Max the yorkie may be small, he will stand his ground. Dusty and Kaila are not very good playmates because of his size he is rough. They let him know when he has gone far enough. At nite when everyone is in, they are laying closer to each other without spats of being to close.

 

 I am looking for a friend that has a digital camcorder so I can send you all a video of him running in the yard with no restrictions. It will take your breath away. His massive body with his white mane blowing in the wind is a sight to behold. Which by the way he can see me across the yard and run right to me. Maybe he has more of a tunnel vision problem. He watches movement on TV.

 

        He found the toilet paper roll the other nite and he strung it into the living room. A lost kodak moment. Now I keep the camera ready and charged at all times.
