Just wanted to give everybody an update on Pate. He is still adjusting to being in a home. We are able to leave him out more and more while someone is home as long as he is wearing his belly band. He has only tried to mark somewhere one time in the past two weeks, but since then he has been doing very well. We hope that someone will want to meet him sometime soon. He is incredibly sweet and is now really starting to play with toys a lot when he is out. We even put a toy in his crate to play with a little while we are gone that way he can entertain himself. He still shows a little bit of interest in the cats (both inside and out). We correct him by using "Pate, leave it", and that breaks his focus on the cats. If anyone has any questions about this sweet, sweet boy please leave a message on the blog or email me at abbeyroop@yahoo.com.
