PETE IS HERE!!!!

After 6 long weeks, Pete has finally arrived! Kaigan and I went to the airport to collected him yesterday. I thought the guy would never get the zip ties cut off while Pete tried to dig his way out of the crate! When he was finally out and I picked him up, I found him thin and his muscle tone had diminished. My poor Petey! I feel like he couldn't decide if he was happy to see me or just mad as heck at me!! His collar and leash were not with him so we stopped to pick one up. When I got out of the vehicle to run into the store, Pete cried for me! Guess he missed you more than he was mad.  Kaigan drove so I could snuggle with Pete. When we pulled into the garage, Brylie was waiting and Pete was so excited! He ran right up to her and into the house. He greeted all the kids and investigated the whole house. Then he met Charlie. Pete made this growling sound I've never heard from him before! He sounded like the bad Gremlins! And poor Charlie, all he wanted to do was play with him. It was rather stressful at times but so far there's been bloodshed only once. They remained separated last night when Billy and I went out to dinner with some friends. Kaigan said Pete sat at the top of the stairs to the basement where we had gone out waiting for me. And that's right where he was when we got home. He spent the night in the bed with us.
This morning, Billy and I took both dogs for a walk down the Coastal Walkway. They got along pretty well with Charlie trying to sniff/play with Pete and Pete utterly ignoring him. We got home and both dogs took a nap. A little later I had both dogs in the yard when all of a sudden Pete start to try to play with Charlie! Charlie, however, having been snapped at several times, was skeptical of Pete's sudden interest in playing. It was actually pretty funny, with Pete chasing Charlie around the yard and Charlie trying to hide. I videoed it and will post it on Facebook. 
Pete still definitely doesn't wanna share me with Charlie... actually, he doesn't wanna share any of us with Charlie. But they are playing pretty good now and then they are both so tired they just sack out. Pretty good for barely 24 hours!!!
