I am including part of the email that we received from Gillis' parents. Apparently he is having varied experiences and tons of fun.....(From Yvonne) Hello All--I wanted to give you an update on Gillis. His first week was a busy one. After acclimating to the house and yard his social life improved. He was introduced to all of my colleagues at work--and they were all there that day. He made a big hit. We took him shopping so he could meet people and see cars and hear noise. He was not impressed. He greeted people on his belly and then peed when they petted him so he is definitely not an aggressive dog. On Saturday he went to a party with about 80 people--kids and adults--and one dog whose attitude basically was, "go away kid, you bother me." Gillis tried to be friendly but she was having none of it. He was, however, the hit of the party and this time he did not crawl on his belly but ran to greet people. He was such a good dog all afternoon--many people complimented us on how good he was. Today we took him for a walk around a nice neighborhood where he encountered a golden retriever, and they were trying to out-subservient each other. Gillis obviously was not the alpha dog in the litter. He is going to a barbeque tonight at Acadia National Park so we will see how that goes. He's turning into quite the social butterfly....she went on to say that he loves food, is sleeping through the night, but is afraid of the dark, won't go beyond the "circle of light" when she takes him out before bed. I have posted the pictures sent and you can see he is really enjoying himself.
Hope to post other stories tomorrow.
