Since the last update, we've taken Markus to more parks as part of his socialization training, there's been some major news on Acana dog food and the lawsuit they’re facing and we purchased a long 50-foot leash for Markus and tried him on it.

Since the last check-in, we've learned that not all dogs get excited when their owners come home, so we caught Markus on video as we came home. We also noticed his orderliness and we discuss how we pick out his toys as a slightly destructive dog.

Since the last check-in, we went through our first shedding season with Markus and it was something else. Markus is starting to become territorial in the neighbourhood and he's been shaking his head a bit, so we tell you what that means.

Since the last check-in, we wanted to share about our experience leaving our dog Markus home alone, the type of food he's eating and some of the early tendencies we've seen since we rescued him a few weeks ago.
