Spencer has now been here 6 days and he is getting settled into a day in the life of our world. He is still a bit shy(and slightly stubborn), but he is romping around more and showing more personality.
Yesterday, he was hanging out in the classroom while I was tutoring. He discovered Mac's orange hockey ball and went wild, jumping up and down and wanting me to play with him. It was so fun to watch and keep him going!
Spencer also comes alive when he hears us filling up his dish with food. He runs up and down the stairs (carpeted) and hops around waiting for us to put it down. He reluctantly stays until we say "Okay."
He's also tried to gnaw the legs on one of our occasional tables. We will forever have "Spencer" marks to remind us of his first few days. (Better than having to steam clean the living room carpet to rid the spots after he decided to leave a couple of presents for us when he got out our crate!)
Overall, he is fitting in and tolerating us quite well. I am sure he wonders why we don't relax more and mellow out as he, himself, flakes out his whole body on his blanket and snoozes hard most the day. We are trying to get his stamina up so we can take him hiking, thus any longer walks than around the block at the moment tires him out completely.
