MUNGO EATS Latin America

We have had Sargon for a week and a day and I figure it is time to let you know how the strange little beast is doing. 

He is settling in to the house quite well.  Mungo loves playing with his new little buddy.  At the moment, the favourite game is tug of war.  It is not much of a challenge for the big hound.  He more or less just stands in one place with a toy dangling from his mouth.  Sargon grabs the other end of the toy and pulls with all his might.  There is a lot of growling, little tiny growling, but growling all the same.  Eventually, Mungo gets a little tired of the grumbles, and with one swing of his head, drags the small hound across the floor and sends him sprawling.  Fun to watch. 

He was doing great with house training, and the last two days, he asked to go out to the bathroom EVERY time.  Today, he decided that it was too darn cold for hounds to pee outside and he tried and tried to pee inside.  I kept having to remind him that outside was a way better choice. 

Nights are getting better.  He sometimes can “hold on” all night, but more reliably he is going out in the early morning.  At least he is settling into the kennel well each time he is placed in it.  I am sure that sleeping through the night is just around the corner. 

Even though Mungo likes to play with his new friend, he has not allowed Sargon to snuggle up with him until a few days ago.  Now, apparently Sargon is cool enough to share a couch with.

 At least he WAS cool.  I think it is a good thing that Mungo missed this little display of craziness that happened on the couch this evening.  For some reason, Sargon was being “bothered” by his front paws.  He began to growl and bite at them.  What a kook!!

I think we have another fool on our hands!!
