He’s a big boy now.
Eli was left to wonder the first floor of our apartment for 7.5 hours and was great. We came home to no shredded tissues (a favorite of his which led to the bathroom door always needing to be closed), no cords chewed (happened only once but we put all the computer cords away), no socks on the couch (he loves to chew things like socks so all tempting laundry was hauled upstairs). So we have turned a corner. We will still probably crate him during the week for a bit longer but my confidence in Eli grew yesterday.
Also our landlady stopped by to drop off the lease and Brendan answered the door. Eli can get excited when people come by and lavish them with an overwhelming amount of love. But Eli not only sat next to Brendan while Mrs. Monagle pet him but also showed off his paw tricks.
Awesome job Eli!!!! (and you guys for being his people!)
Go Eli!
