koalathebearHe slept in his crate last night but whimpered/cried ever now and then. I didn't sleep at all because I find it hard to sleep when there's a dog crying ...
Nonetheless, today he's showing the beginnings of an off-switch.
Although still not eating much, he nibbled a few treats. He is starting to play with toys a little, has learned how to use the dog door. He lay down on a mat and also went to his crate a few times of his own accord and has showed no signs of wanting to mark indoors today - although we are keeping a very close eye on him.
Yesterday he marked a bag of Black Hawk kibble twice and the kitchen door once so we are either keeping him on leash or keeping a close eye on him. His area is restricted, too - he has access to the yard, the study when we are in it and also the kitchen if we are there. I've been taking him around the house on leash, any signs of sniffing the wall/furniture are met with an 'uh uh'.
He's quite timid ... loves pats but flinches if you touch him unexpectedly. Is very interested in people and wants to please and is sitting in an attempt to please but doesn't seem to know much else.
The Ranger says he's a stray so he has no origin story or backstory. Overall he's very quiet and well-behaved. I think he shows a lot of promise.
