4/26/22-Vincent the love bug must be close to me all the time. As I am attempting to type this he has a paw on my arm to be sure I stay put. He is happy to sit next to you for hours but if you get up he is right on your tail. He is not phased by my dog. She will smell him but he simply ignores her but when it is time to go outside or come in he cannot get to the door fast enough, often running her over. He is good with all people he has met but if they don’t pay attention he will let them know by singing. I am having some construction done – he has been fine with loud noises. We have had some storms and there have not been any issues. He is happy to be in his crate both at night and during the day when needed. I have left him in a gated family room for up to four hours without any issues. Vincent does not get into mischief. He is not interested in toys. But bring out the treats and he is all about them and takes them gently most of the time. If I am also giving one to my dog he does not try to grab her treat.

 

I have only found one thing that appears to bother him. He does not like to have your hand come from overhead and will shy away. He does not show any aggression, he simply pulls back.

 

Vincent has finished his treatment for lyme. Next we go on May 4th to have a growth removed from his chest on the right side. While this growth has been tested positive as a mast cell tumor it has not grown since he has been with me. These are very common in the breed. As they get older they all get some bumps.

 

 

3/28/22-Vincent is a great dog! He has started to be a little vocal like he is trying to tell you something! Lol He does not bark though to let you know he needs to go out so it is best to get him on a regular schedule to go out potty. He eats in his crate here and goes into the crate with no fuss. This evening I gave him a dental bone at the same time I gave my dog one. He took his bone into his crate to devour. Vincent is good with my dog & I have been giving him treats with my dog and there has not been any problems. He is a laid back dog who only wants to be close to his human and will sit with you until you get up then he follows you. It took me a moment to get this update in as he had me trapped on the sofa! Lol  I am working on teaching him not to jump or put his paws on people, it is a work in progress. He knows to sit and stay as well. More updates soon! 

 

3/21/22-Vincent arrived to his foster home yesterday thanks to all his transport volunteers! He rode great & everyone fell in love with him. He is a sweet boy. I am letting him settle in and relax. So far he just wants to be close to his human. He is eating and drinking well.  He goes into his crate easily. I am feeding him in the crate to keep him comfortable with it. My dog has shown interest in him but he just lets her sniff without any reaction. More updates as he settles in!
