Third week with Adeline & River

These pups are doing well. They are still timid, but are doing well when in foreign situations. River seems to be the more adventurous and will come out onto the deck on her own before Adeline will. Both dogs would rather be inside than outside and will try to get back in when taken down to the patio/lawn. We are blocking off the stairs and encouraging them to do their "business" outside. They are just starting to do this and are rewarded with a small treat and brought back inside immediately.

Addie allows us to pick her up, but River will avoid it until she is backed into a corner. They are both fine once in our arms. They continue to sleep together in a crate, but we now close the crate during the day so they don't hide out there. We have slowly moved the dog beds away from the crate and they are now comfortable in a big dog bed in front of the patio doors, where they can sleep or play.    

Addie is starting to walk on a leash, but still stops a lot or wanders back and forth. River does not want to move while on a leash out front, she does better in the fenced yard.

They are slowly getting more comfortable with people and both seem to enjoy being petted.
