As I write this post Silas is chewing a rawhide on the kitchen floor. We just returned from our evening walk in snow, 2 inches with more falling, and a bitter 20 degree air temp with wind. On a positive note, he seems to adore snow. Silas has changed quite a bit over the past few days. He is biting at our hands, pants, etc. much less. A firm no and short time out have seemed to work well. He comes out and plays hard following this but with no nipping attempts. Silas is meeting many new adults, children and other animals and has become much more outgoing with them. We took a walk through Oil City on Saturday where he was quite a hit among the townspeople. Silas is now sleeping through the night in his kennel. I put him to bed around 10 pm after a restroom trip and he sleeps soundly until 5 am when I get up to feed him and take him for a walk. He is a really good boy. Yesterday he noticed a robin and chased it a short distance. He had a couple of booster shots yesterday and has a rabies shot next week then he will be off to pet smart for puppy class with Sarah and me. I want him to have more socialization with other dogs.
