Update (Summer 2004) He is learning, or has learned Do you wanna go for a (walk, ride) He gets really excited! He loves going for rides, but is never that crazy about the destinations (does not really care for the pet stores) I think too much is going on at the pet stores and he can't keep a watchful eye on everything. He does, however, like the park.

He loves to play ball and can catch the frisbee. When playing ball/frisbee we tell him to 'drop it' and 'backup' he does both.

Just amazing what they can learn. We do crate him during the day when we are gone, but he has graduated to free roaming Romeo (just in the bedroom though) during bedtime. His crate is in our bedroom and the crate door is left open, so he can do as he pleases. He has done very well. We like knowing he can get up and stretch his legs if need be through the night. This morning he gently licked my hands to wake me up. So sweet!

He is really a joy to have, thanks for all your efforts in rescuing this beautiful breed.

I just love seeing that big nose in the morning, oh, and the big ears too.

 

UPDATE (July 2004) Romeo gets the best of everything, we love to spoil him!... We decided his birthday would be the same as our wedding anniversary! He has a morning routine of setting his Kong ball on our bed when he is ready to wake his people up...see our perspective!

He really enjoys his bath ...[with] a hose hooked up to soft water and it is temperature controlled.

UPDATE (April 27, 2004). On Easter we bought him some goodies from Three Dog Bakery. That is what you see him eating in the one picture. He is also very smart (like all GSDs!) We can tell him to get one of his four toys (frisbee, ball, rope, bone) and he will bring it to you. He knows the words water, breakfast, dinner. ..He is really a joy to have, thanks for all your efforts in rescuing this beautiful breed.
