I am starting to feel like Coltrane is the dancing frog from Looney Tunes. He prances about, wags his tail, gives kisses, and does wiggly jigs... but only when we are at home! Granted, the open houses this past weekend were Coltrane's firsts; but even when we have visitors at home, Coltrane stands stock still and simply absorbs pets. Then again, he is the cuddliest foster we've ever had.
So, let me assure you that Coltrane is as sweet as he is jolly.
As a matter of fact, being the Seabrook ex-racing dog that he is (i.e., New Hampshire), Coltrane loved the flurries we received today. He chomped at the snow with his mouth and hopped around in circles, which undid his coat and got it wet and muddy. But he was very pleased with himself.
Coltrane continues to behave very well in his crate. He is happy to leave his crate and go for walks, but he also depends on the fact that he will return to his crate after each outing. Otherwise, Coltrane gets nervous, starts panting, and sheds dandruff. Our rescue group advocates crate-training (and subsequent crate-weaning) anyway, but this guy really needs it. His future adopter(s) will need to respect that.
