Mustang is smaller than he looks in the photos, and it's going to take some time to build up his confidence.

Ah, he has the look. Don't be fooled, given time he could turn into a Sassy Mouth like Casper. Once he knows he is safe with you, you should start seeing his personality.

With Casper, I took my cues from Bramble. Bramble just insisted Casper play with her, and when he retreated, she followed making open mouth chuffs. I ended up doing play bows, open mouth cuffs, "grabbing" his leg in play invitation...and slowly he started started to respond. He now invites me to play, and oh, is he a sassy mouth. Still skittish, but we are making so much progress.

BTW, he is a cutie.

He was much smaller than the other one in all of those videos. He’s probably not even 50 lbs.

We are home sweet home with Mustang after a long journey. Leela isn't very happy, but I I am pretty sure she will come around.

I am going to officially close this post out with a couple of pics. The black hole is filling with love.

I'll start another thread with some more pics soon.

Last pee stop just a few minutes from home (for me too LOL).
