Argos is such a handsome boy! How heartwarming that he is roaching and playing and looking right at home from the very first.

Update -

 

Yes, he will be seeing a vet for his wound. Until then he has had it cleaned out and is wearing my legend of zelda shirt because it's loose and fits him. It's been stopping him from licking. I just need to get the copies of his vetting in Spain, which I will get asap from GRIN.

 

Yes, I really think they get jet lag...he's been on Spain time all night/day! He was sooo exausted after his day yesterday he slept well!

 

Argos is doing well. He cried for a couple hours straight last night....while playing and wagging his tail. Just cried as he went along. We kept him in our room and gave him a new bed which he loved. He slept (and is still wearing) one of my t-shirts to stop him from licking his wound. Turns out he's got some recent ones on his belly too...not nearly as bad but he's red in a lot of places. Anyways, when he went to sleep he slept well. He cried about 5:30 am and we took him out and he peed...so no accidents thus far. He pooped earlier and it was fairly solid, just slighty soft so his tummy appears to be doing ok. Oh...and he's the only hound in the house that sits. lol...my boys both looked at him like he was strange.

 

Oh...and he made me laugh this morning. He kept coming into the living room and picking up a toy and taking it to the bedroom, like an assembly line, for probably 10 minutes. I finally got curious, removed Timmy from my lap, and followed Argos into the bedroom. He was taking toys and distributing them among beds. Not kidding. He had all the ball-type ones (6 total) on Timmy's bed, 3 on his bed (2 stuffed bears) and 2 on Lucky Girl's bed (2 stuffies) and nothing on Lucius bed. No idea what he as doing, but it was funny.

He's beautiful! I hope he will heal up quickly for you.

 

What do you call his color ? - I thought he was black and white, but now he looks like a liver chestnut color (I used to own horses and that's what we called this color) and white.

 

He sounds like he's adjusting in well.

Thanks. He's actually black. The flash kind of discolors him, but his black is the same shade as our dalmatian's spots...so I'm going with black. lol!

How do your other kids seem to feel about him? And is he a lot smaller than your Greys? I always heard they were smaller but I haven't seen one in person to know if that's right or not.

The other kids are funny about him. Lucius is pretending that he doesn't exist. It was only baout 30 mins ago that he acknowledged him and growled to let Argos know that Lucius is alpha of the house. Then, they sort of played together. Timmy has decided he's tired of being bottom-rung omega of the house, he did the growly thing and now they're cool. No problems. Lucky Girl...bless her heart....wants to be an only dog. So..she's been kind of rude to him...but that's Lucky Girl. In reverse, he thinks he's made all kinds of new best friends and throws a fit, jimping, thrashing, etc when you try to take him away to walk him or something. He likes his new pack and wags his tail (not in the aggressive pose, but in helicopter friendly way).

 

He is very small compared to my boys. When they all settle I'll get a picture...but he's a good 4 inches shorter than Lucius and 2 1/2 to 3 inches shorter than Timmy. Larger than a whippet. He's about the size of a small female grey.
