Getting to know each other

Todd really helped out a lot in the first couple of weeks. He was home for vacation over the holidays, but it was my busy time with 2 back to back home games over the holidays than a playoff game on Jan 4th.
Sailor also got to know our neighbor's dog, Duke the boxer. His mom, Nicole and dad, Charley are good friends and neighbors and help us out a lot. Duke is about 6 and like to come visit. they play on the deck and last weekend we took Osa and Sailor out on the frozen tundra of the lake and let them play. Duke came out and joined them.
Also, Randall and Roman are helpful and are our neighbors, friend and petsitters. they have a Rottweiler named Jada, who has not yet played with Sailor but am sure he will soon.

We have such great neighbors that are always there to help -it's awesome!

We are trying to get Sailor used to being in the car as well. We got him his own mat for the car, and one time we did leave him a little too long and he Pooed in the back of Todd's Toyota SUV. It was easy to clean up, but sure smelled!

We are getting to know his personality - he is sweet but ornery and will get in his portable kennel when we ask him. He looks like a Raptor when he runs at you, and a Platypus when he sits with his webbed feet splayed. He still annoys Osa, but have hopes they will work it out.
