Well, after about a zillion delays and logistical problems, I picked up Nash the puppy this morning. (I almost didn't, as the park and ride where we were going to meet has become a mall, and neither of us had brought the others cell phone #, so we have to wander around aimlessly, but it worked out and we found each other :) He rode back with no problems at all: He met up (again) with Kurt and Merlin. Oddly Merlin pretty much ignored him and Kurt was super interested in playing. I didn't want kurt to hurt him, but he was play bowing and jumping around and chasing him. Nash kept running under Kurt. Tails were wagging up a storm. Blurry, but you get the idea. Nash is a master of the full body, contact roach on the grass. He puts his nose down, and flops his entire body down after it. Got an itch: Nash: "Hey Kurt! Play!!!!!" Tally so far:

• Many roaches
• Chew toys are excellent!
• Baths suck and you should squirm around as much as possible
• The crate is great. Nice place for a nap
• Walks are fun, but tiring
• Cats: who cares?
• Kisses on the nose of the human are fun

So far he's very well behaved, very mellow and doing great. This is totally diffrent than my last puppy experence. PS: dog/greyhound folks, drop me an email if you want to come by and visit the little guy. I should be around pretty much all the time this coming week except thursday.
