Revel is home! It's like he never left. Soon as we opened the tailgate and he saw the Ruffland kennel I didn't get a chance to ask him to hop in.
He fits right in with everyone. He loves Stavros. Stavros was scared of him initially and screamed like a girl when Revel simply stood close to him
but after that he's been romping around right with Revel. Rev has been a good boy for never been around a puppy before, especially such a confident one (we will give Stavros a break on that one scary time LOL). Besides that, Stavros has been all over him like a big brother and tag teaming on Ripley and vice versa
.
Rip had to make sure he knew where his place was. Once she got a good butt sniff in they were back to old pals.
Stavros being brave and regretting it
Stand off
Let's go!
Revel will be home for about two weeks while the training facility is on vacation for a fair event. I have a small list of things to continue to work on with him. Then when he returns he will start working on public access work.
Unfortunately, he is back in posts... I was going up once a week for about a month changing his posts but he developed a little sore in one ear when he managed to pop one out. So I took the post down and left him out for 3 days and asked them to spray some vetericyn on the slight sore to let it air dry. Went back to repost them but they looked ok, so I thought, "hey I can just leave breathe rites in and this should be easy enough for them to change if I leave extras and some torbots?" I told them if they ever start bending over his head, to let me know. In their defense, they haven't ever dealt with cropped ears so I guess no one noticed that the tips were bending over his head quite a bit. Im sad that they aren't doing good but its really hard for me to control the ear situation from afar. So, they'll have to stay in posts when he goes back and I'll just keep coming every week to repost him. It's hard for me to judge and gauge how his ears look even during that short time frame that I do see him in person so... better safe than sorry.
The day I swapped to breathe rites... Looks fine right?
I think part of the problem was the breathe rite was no longer stuck to his ear towards the bottom so this gave no support and allowed the ear to flip over. His other ear does that too in certain scenarios so I just posted them both fully as soon as we got home.
Sweet boy did rest his head on my chest tonight like he is so good at. They definitely don't forget you.
Some more pics within the first hour of being home.
