Just so you can see the subject:



...who'd slam the door on this one?

As far as behavior, between me and the two resident dogs, the little scunner is getting placed in the pack order very quickly. That "Other Side of the Leash" book that I mentioned earlier has been a REAL influence on this one and has made this "assimilation" easier than any pet introduction we've ever had.

Speaking of having his nards nipped, it's an economic issue as well as a social one. In Chicago a regular dog license for a neutered dog is five bucks. The license fee for an unneutered male has recently been raised to $100. This is a reaction to the proliferation of "bad dogs". Pit Bulls, notably, but those Rott crossbreeds as well. Too many irresponsible jerks with dogs that have aggression problems. And I love Pits...my buddy Moe has a shelter dog Pit that's named Luger...big slobbering sweetheart. Great dogs ruined by dumb people with their own issues...nobody trust a Pit anymore. Damn shame.

Best
