Rut-Roh

We added another member to our pack.  This is Rho.  He's Chi's half brother's son, so I guess that makes her an aunt.  As orientation leader, she's taught him race & chase, rug & tug, wind sprints, boxing, and how to maneuver the cement stairs into and out of the house.  Like Chi, Rho decided the yard was his church and thus unfit for relieving himself in.  The 100 year old living room carpet, the couch and throw blankets and bed are a different matter.  We are doing an unprecedented amount of laundry, spot botting, and are dangerously close to depleting our paper towel provision.  Maybe this is just Rho's way of encouraging us to do a bit more cleaning around the house.

We're working on feeding him at consistent intervals and taking him outside immediately after, as well as crack of dawn and pretty much any time he looks restless.  Unfortunately, outside trips involve so much race & chase, Rho forgets his original intention until he's wandered back into a nice dark quiet redwood foyer...
