A note from his new family:
Elliot - who is now learning his new name, "Chase" - seems to be fitting in well here in his new household. He and Zedd had some good play time - and relax time - yesterday. We started with a good walk first thing this morning - just me with the two of them. They both did well at a fast walking pace - one on either side. Chase is getting used to the choke-chain, and we were able to keep it loose most of the time (which was surprising after yesterday's first walk home - which had quite a bit more pulling involved).
Chase has already figured out that sitting results in treats much faster than jumping, and he has only really tried jumping up on one chair in the living room (the shorter one). Of course, he also figured out the 'luv sak' is really, really comfortable, but he's allowed to enjoy that one. He and Dave got some good snuggles in last night in the 'sak'. You might be surprised to hear (or might not be, since you know how smart he is, and we're still learning), he's already getting the idea of 'waiting' at doors, and that people get to go first, not him - and that he has to 'wait' before pushing his way out of the crate, and for food, and for just about everything else, too.
I'd say he's making a swift integration! Right now, he's passed out in my office (on a leash, tied to my ankle) - which allows Zedd to have his window seat back, all to himself.
Thanks to all of you who offered Elliot a new home
