Things are going very well with Dagur at home. He is just a wonderful addition to our family. He is so tolerant of the kids and as he heals from his surgery, he is showing more energy and personality. He is just such a good boy! He doesn't bark or jump on people and the kids have pulled/tweaked/poked everywhere on him (obviously with teaching and discipline from us) with minimal reaction from him. He can be a little stinker though too. He must have been allowed on furniture in his former home because Monday night as soon as Kris left for work, Dagur jumped up on the couch and got cozy. I first took a picture (because how cute!) and then called Kris and we agreed we don't want him on the furniture. So, I hauled him off and showed him his dog bed. He sat down on it but as soon as I sat back down to finish my dinner, he was up and sitting on the other side of the couch. So I made him get down and back to his bed. He slept there for a while. Later in the evening I was sitting on the couch while the kids played with toys in front of me. Dagur woke up, looked over to the couch and saw me sitting there and then walked over to the recliner and climbed up and sat down. Goofball! So I made him get down off that and he walked back over to the couch. No, No, No! Finally he gave up and laid down behind the couch on the floor for another long snooze. Last night he again tried to get up on the couch and I shooed him off again.

The kids have really taken to him too. Annika adores him. Monday night she had to give him a kiss and hug goodnight on her way upstairs. Tuesday night she woke up during the night crying and asking for Dagur. And last night she woke up and Daddy asked if she would like Dagur to sleep in her room. So when I woke up this morning I found Dagur and Annika sleeping in Annika's bed! (she at the head, he at the foot, both curled up nice and cozy) I'd say we're all adjusting nicely.

Last night James waved bye-bye to me! He only did it once and wouldn't repeat it on command after that of course, but he did it!
