Nico met Chloe, a Golden Retriever that is almost 1 year old. Chloe started out a little over-excited about her new friend and Nico wasn't sure he could keep up. It wasn't long before he came out of his shell and started playing rough with Chloe. She was incredibly tolerant of the young puppy that is still learning how to play with others. We now have a completely exhausted puppy on our hands. Thanks Jen, Peter, and Jillian for helping to socialize Nico!
Nico had his second puppy play date with Chester and Kismet. He was much more confident this time around. At one point Chester and Kismet started roughhousing. Nico wanted to get in on the action, but we made him sit back because he was apt to get trampled. Once they were finished Nico went over to Kismet and started clearly mimicking their behavior. He yipped and growled while pouncing towards Kismet. When he was feeling really bold he would touch her front paw with his mouth. She just sat there and looked at him like he was a fly on the wall.
