Well I have been seriously B A D about Carson's blog. We had a baby in December and I was a bit anxious about what Carsons's reaction would be because he is a very high energy boy. Our Tucker has had serious post partum depression that started with being scared of the baby but Carson is more curious than anything. In the beginning we had to teach him not to jump up when we were holding the baby, and to keep him from getting in his face to sniff and lick. Now he seems to "get" it. His favorite heating vent sits at the foot of the baby's swing and he still hangs out there with no issues. He particularly enjoys licking the baby's feet. Ive decided that Carson's high energy is just puppiness; much of the things he does are things that Tucker did when he first came to us. We still kennel him when we are gone because he will chew but he does let us know when he needs to go potty, so that is not a concern. We had an issue with Carson jumping our shorter chain link fence that required reinforcing with a higher lattice in one spot; since then we havent had an issues. Carson has learned "sit" and comes quickly when he hears the phrase "do you want a cookie?"...he is VERY treat motivated and also a very smart boy. If we had more time to spend with him I think he could really be quite impressive. His vary favorite game is chase; he could run and run all day. Here is a video of him and Tucker playing on a recent warm weather winter day : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh3Pr5fFR3w&feature=youtu.be
