The Jeff R Project

I’ve posted a bunch of new pictures of Rumble at http://www.jeffrose.ca/rumble so you’re welcome to have a look. I’ll be posting more shortly, and some video clips.

He’s doing great. He’s been home for 4 full days now and is adapting to home and office quite well. That’s right, I’ve been taking him to Casting Workbook with me every day. Chris picks him up and takes him home about 3:45 and gets some quality time with him then. It’s working out really great.

Rumble loves to play, living up to his name. He has a toy sheep (I call it “Sheep” – clever eh?) at home that he just loves. Although he likes the butt-end best. Weird. He also has a toy cow (named “Cow”) at work that he’s not as enamored with, but still likes, and a fluffy bone.

We bought him a KONG teether toy that you can fill with food (we also have peanut butter flavored stuff) but he’s completely ignored it! He didn’t even eat the peanut butter stuff last time. He’s not teething too much yet, so maybe he’ll grow into it.

That’s Rumble as he entered our lives, not exactly living up to his name, when we brought him home on October 1. He spent several hours trying to decide if he was ready to come out of his crate and explore his new home.

I had to bribe him with food.

Since then, he’s started to come into his own. He seems to understand the solarium is now HIS room and he retreats there when he gets startled/scared. And he’s very comfortable sleeping there. But when he’s out, he’s learning that he can have the run of the house. He’s starting to explore.

And relax – man can this dog relax. Put him in my lap and he’s out like a light. Reminds me of a certain MAN I know (and love!).

Rumble’s currently 11 weeks old (his birthday is July 16) and he’s a Miniature Schnauzer in case you couldn’t tell.
