Summertime and the livin' is easy.....

So Banks has been living with us for about a week and a half now and he has been a lot of fun to have around. This past weekend we made a trip to Michigan and Banks was the perfect house guest and was friendly towards everyone he met. From my experience with foster dogs, they're often quite shy around new people...not Banks! He loves everybody and that's a great thing because everyone wants to stop and pet him when we're at the park.

Here are a couple pictures of Banks at the dog park....

Banks is starting to get the hang of drinking out of a water bottle

 

Banks got his "summer cut" this weekend

Banks definitely loves being outside and he walks so nicely without even needing a harness. I would say that he's fully house trained now and we have been allowing him to sleep uncrated at night. We have also been letting him be free in the house if we're only going to be gone 4-5 hours. Banks really enjoys having something to chew on; hooves seem to be his favorite. He is also a tug-of-war fanatic...he's always ready for a play session.
