1 month with our sweet boy

Well we've now had Hudson for a month and it seems like he's been here forever. He's very attached to me and Will, follows us everywhere, even to the bathroom! He's crate trained, and I think he actually LIKES his crate, all I have to do is say "house" and he'll go in. He's potty trained now, and rings his potty bell when he needs to go out or he'll stand right by the door until we let him out. He loves going to the dog park and going for walks. He loves playing fetch, chase, keep away and especially tug with daddy. He is recovering VERY well from his neutering, you wouldn't even think he had had anything done! We are hoping that the "deflated balloon" that resulted from the procedure will shrink down though. He has gained almost 10 pounds since he's been with us. He weighed 56lbs when we got him and he's about 65 lbs now! His skin condition has cleared up and he's had no further problems with it, he just has to be on a flea preventative to keep the allergy at bay. He tolerates grooming pretty well, including getting his teeth brushed and nails clipped. He's very used to his feeding schedule and knows exactly when it's time to eat. All in all we're thrilled with him in our lives and we think he is very happy as well. We're going on our first trip with him tomorrow. We taking a 3.5 hour drive to my hometown to spend the day and Hudson HATES the car. We're going to give him Dramamine at the advice of our vet to try and help calm his tummy and nerves, it's his first long car ride and I'm a little anxious about it, but I'll update how he does.
