Today is our third full day with Reilly. We started the day full of energy and anxious to play. After several hours of tug, chase, and chew on everything in the house we went to the house site to paint. This was extremely exciting because it meant a trip in the car. Reilly loves the air conditioning vent!
Once we arrived at the house he got to meet two new people - the electricians. He took to both of them right away. Rick and I are painting the house ourselves, so we had borrowed a "goat box" that my dad uses to transport his Boer Goats in - it is a wire cage a little larger than an extra large dog crate. Reilly took to it after about a minute of barking and whining and played happily for several hours. Rick and I had several conversations about whether or not we wanted to crate Reilly. After the goat box experience we decided that we would definitely invest in a crate. We took a break for lunch and returned to the house - this made Reilly very happy as it necessitated another trip in front of the air conditioning vent.
Before returning to start painting again we purchased our crate. When we got back to the house site we happily put Reilly in the new canine approved crate only to discover he hated it! He whined and cried for 20 minutes and I finally gave in and took him out. He promptly trotted over to the "goat box" and climbed right in! Silly dog.
