Nico joined Shelly and I for a trip to Lowes today. We were headed out to get material to rebuild a fence in our yard. For us folks living in rural upstate NY going to Lowes means a little over a one hour drive to the big city of Plattsburgh. It was way busier than we thought and as luck would have it all of the fence pickets were picked over not leaving us enough to rebuild our fence. Nico came along in the shopping cart and scored lots of love from plenty of people. Everyone was wearing masks and all asked if it was ok to approach to meet him. It was a socialization overload for the little dude and he even scored a couple treats from a nice employee. On the ride home he settled in on the custom dog platform I built for Khyber in the cab of my truck. He's slowly learning the ways of a good doggie sidekick.
Incoming! Kismet entertained Nico’s puppy enthusiasm this evening. She tolerated, and even welcomed, him jumping all over her. She is great at teaching Nico when enough is enough. Her tolerance for his antics change, forcing him to learn when another dog is willing to play a little rough and when they want to be left alone.
Doing my best to make Nico look like the big boy that he thinks he is. This little guy has a lot of spunk in him. He also has A LOT to learn, we're doing our best to teach him the ways of dog life.
