7/20/11:  Hush gets greater every day.  He gets along with everyone.  He has 'moved into the house' full time and taken up sleeping under my bed.  It is quite a tight fit but I don't have to dust under there anymore :-) He is totally trustworthy.  Has not gotten into anything and never marked.  Getting good on leash.  He does still want to drive in the car.  Good at the groomers.  He hardly ever barks.  I guess he got it all out of his system the first 2 hours of the trip here.

He is recovering from several hot spots.  Treated by the vet, he got an allergy shot so hopefully no more.  The hair is on it's way to growing back on his side, but the one on his rump was just shaved and treated.

5/3/11: During the 2 hour transport, this young fella thought his name was 'hush' as that is about all her heard out of my mouth:-)  Had he been on my lap in the back seat, he would have been quiet, but having no idea of what he was like we play it safe and he was crated.  For poor Hush, it was just another unknown in a series of unknowns that had always turned out bad.  But no more bad luck for this guy!  He is great!  He just needed some human bonding, a canine friend and a large yard to run off some energy.  Not a peep out of him all night. 
     He is very affectionate, gives little kisses, likes to cuddle and fine with being handled.  He is unfamiliar with a leash but did amazingly well for the first walk.  Food is not high on his priority list so there should not be any issues there.  He has met both male and female dogs and no aggression.  He does play a bit rough and rolled the 10 week old pup but he is only a puppy himself.  He is about 7 months old and about 70 pounds.  He has a very broad chest and will be a big boy at maturity.
