I picked Dart up from the kennel yesterday. He laid down almost as soon as he got in the SUV but that only lasted for a while. He was quiet the entire time though and didn't pace.
When I introduced him to my girls, he was completely at ease. He's about 3" taller than both of my girls. Not one ounce of problem and he only took an hour or so before he calmed himself down enough to lay down on one of the soft beds in the familyroom.
I don't have a crate large enough for him (his racing weight was 79) so I just closed our bedroom door so he was contained and couldn't pace. He woke up several times and all three dogs played musical beds all night long. He came over to my side of the bed a couple times and laid his head on my shoulder. Oh, he's stealing my heart. He settled down and ate breakfast without trying to get in the other dogs bowls. He eats slower than they do though.
I cut his nails and he was awesome. Didn't pull away or whine. He just stood there and was so patient. I also cleaned his ears and again he was so good. I have fostered a few dogs now and this dog is so comfortable in his own skin. He's just a calm comfortable easy going dog.
