We could not take him home that day because he still needed to be neutered which happened Tuesday. After meeting Burke, Collin wanted to get ready for him. He wanted us to rearrange his room so that Burke's cage could fit in his room in the corner. He was so excited to have the dog sleep in there. Then, during dinner one night, we went through a list of possible dog names and kept coming back to liking Burke.....so we kept it.
Collin came home from school the next day with a drawing of a dog and Dad. He wrote "I am Thankful" on the picture. Guess he was thinking about Burke coming home. What do you think?
Collin was so excited for Burke to finally be home but a little disappointed because Burke did not want to play. First, he was shy and second, he was on meds from surgery the day before. Both of these things were hard for Collin to understand. He thought Burke did not like him.
Burke is house-broken and sleeps in his cage really well. He is fine on a leash but still very shy and skittish when walking outside. I can tell that he is going to be really playful once he gets to know us and be more comfortable around us.
