As he was in the office, he began to warm up. He would walk over and allow for chin scratches or would walk over and stand near me waiting for a pets. He walked well on leash, allowed me to check his teeth, and entertained himself. He settled in the office and was quiet. 11/07/26 16:34 Luffy has been housed in yard for last two nights due to lack of kennel space . He was in the middle yard with a dog on both sides. Chain link fence with slats had some slats missing and dogs could interact in parts. He was play bowing through fence at a female dog on one side and a male dog on the other.
