All moved in
Tucker and I have officially been moved in to our new residence for a few weeks now. We are both loving having more space and feeling safer walking around at night. Oh, and having Boyfriend around all the time now of course! J Tucker appeared to be adjusting well at first, and didn't seem disoriented or like he felt out of place. But soon thereafter it became apparent that he was displaying some new behavioral issues. He has barking way, way more often. He hears (or thinks he hears) noises outside and he barks and barks. He wants to play or get our attention and he barks and barks at us. He even play-bites us now when he wants to play L It's beyond frustrating. I do feel guilty part of the time because he's now at home by his lonesome for another couple hours everyday. Boyfriend and I have been trying to make more of an effort to take him to the dog park or on longer walks and runs. Sometimes it seems to help, but he often still gets these bursts of energy and sprints around the condo and barks like crazy for a few minutes. We're still trying to figure out the best way to deal with the barking...and for now we're trying simply ignoring him. But it's tough because we worry about the neighbors and don't want to piss them off. Oh well. Hoping to alleviate these behavioral problems SOON...
