Jupiter

We absolutely love Jupiter. We've renamed him Dewey. He is doing very well. He is a very sweet, lovable dog. He loves affection, and is very sweet when he wants to be pet and loved. But when he wants to play or wants more attention, he bites. Hard! He has lots of running time, and has an assortment of toys and soup bones he knaws on, and we try to turn his attention to these when he starts biting us, but he still seems to prefer to bite us. He loves to play with his toys and I hear him in the other room making his toy squeek right now. He learned to sit and come very quickly, and he is learning to stay. Although he is not totally house broken yet, he is well on his way. He was very afraid of any loud noise or sudden movement when we first got him, and he is still a little skittish, but seems to be growing out of it. He also ran the very first time he saw a leash in my hand! When I hooked it onto his collar he started yelping and crying and flipping himself around. I picked him up and calmed him down, and took him outside and set him in the yard with the leash on, and He started yelping again, so loud that my entire family and a neighbor came running over! There he was flipping around when I wasn't even holding the other end of the leash! We all just stood there watching him. Finally he calmed down, but as soon as I touched the leash, he started again. He still acts terrible when he sees the leash, but we put it on him and make him walk around with it on anyway, and he seems to be getting used to it.
