a busy week

Bugsy had a very fun and busy week. My sister came to visit and brought her children ages 6 & 9. I cannot express how joyful Bugsy was to have his own children 24/7. His over-excitement made him difficult to deal with at times so he did have crate timeouts but it was all good until the morning they left. Bugsy stole the younger child's hat and gloves and wouldn't give them back. There were tears and I felt terrible.
Sometimes it isn't easy to be 105lbs of excited energy.
Here is a typical grin:



I wish there was a way to help him be more relaxed and normal when we have guests but he just doesn't seem to be able to. At 4.5 yrs old I am not holding out much hope for it to change. He is so anxious and overstimulated that it stresses everyone. He winds up exhausted afterwards.

After having a good rest yesterday he returned to his norm today.
He had the longest walk of his recovery, helped his Dad human with yard work, and supervised Mom human doing housework.
And got a bath
And watched his crate get moved from the living room to the family room.
Whew - a busy day to end a busy week.
