Well. we met them and got the rest of his stuff yesterday. Once we got back home I put a new collar on him when his new ID tag. Honest to God, I walked into the kitchen he came up and sat right in front of me and the second I put it on he changed. Where he'd been kinda depressed and mopey, he started smiling, then a little later he and Angie started playing a lot more (they got along from the get go but he was too distraught to play any).
The PO said that he kept them up at night pacing around and didn't really sleep solid. Last night he and Angie both spent the night sleeping on the bed together (like a couple of rag dolls, neither moved all night) and if you didn't know you swear he's been ours since birth.
It was like once we got his bed and toys over here and put on a new collar he was like "OK, this is home now, and ****, I like these people and this other dog".
Anyway, we're off to the beach in a little while then back home to alter the sig photos.....
