I just wanted to give you a quick update on Guinness, formerly known as Ajax. My husband & I adopted Guinness on Saturday, January 12th, 2008 after having seen his picture on Petfinder.com. Since we already had a Toy Poodle and a Miniature Poodle in our family, it wasn’t hard to convince ourselves to adopt a wee poodle pup in need of a good home.
A week has passed since we brought Guinness home, and he has undergone quite a personality change! The quiet, meek puppy we met at the shelter has turned into a bouncy bundle of energy & mischief! Guinness loves to play with toys of all kinds, but will also entertain himself with whatever he can find or reach, including towels off the rack, candle pillars off the coffee table, etc. … so needless to say we have been crating him for his own safety when we leave the house.
Considering that Guinness had lived in kennel and had no previous housebreaking training, he has had very few accidents in the house. He still is a bit shy around us but is growing more confident each day. Once he settles in a bit more we are going to get him started in obedience classes, which should help build his confidence. Guinness enjoys his new canine and feline siblings though I think they are a bit overwhelmed by his energy! He has transitioned to his new diet without incident, and is enjoying many yummy new things, like sweet potato chews.
I have included a few pictures of Guinness for you in his new home. Because he is almost always in motion, the only pictures we can get of him are when he decides to settle down for a nap! Carolyn & Scott H.
