Giacomo 1st Day:  Giacomo is doing very well.  He was very interested in going for a walk last night so I gave-in (I had wanted to get more familiar with him before we set out on a journey). I think the city is going to be good for him --- he started barking at people, but then quickly gave up when he realized he was surrounded by people and could not bark at everyone.  City sounds don't seem to startle him -- it all blends together and he was oblivious to things I thought would drive him bonkers (horns, truck brakes, trains, creaky subway grates, etc).  Day 1 begins and I am excited to take this journey with him!

2-21-11 Giacomo is doing very well. His fear aggression seems to be curtailing-although we haven't been out for long walks lately due to all the salt and ice everywhere. His only vice right now is his affinity to eat poo. I am trying to add some pineapple to his diet to make it taste less desirable, not sure it is working.  He is a sweet dog and really fitting in nicely to our home. He has his bursts of energy, but seems less wired than other weims. He is overly excited though when out on a leash. Arnold and he get along real well-in fact, dare I say that they get along better than Arnold got along with Giuseppe? I still have not been able to bathe Giacomo either-major issues with the shower-I do the spray clean thing and that works for him.  Thanks for checking. Mike
