What a wonderful post to read this morning! Congratulations on bringing Houdini home (love his name!) - he certainly looks like he has been counting the weeks down to join your family as well. Keep up the posting of pics of your handsome, smiley guy.

Ramone is very cautious around him, and Houdini is being a good boy and giving Ramone lots of space. Every now and then Houdini will prance over to him, tail going like a propeller and give Ramone's nose a little lick, its very cute Houdini went up the hardwoood stairs this morning and then back down after some encouragement. He's smart and keeps trying until he figures things out, you can see his brain working. We have barriers up in the kitchen and hes gotten through all of it so far, hes very food motivated. His name suits him, alot!

Congrats on Houdini's homecoming! I love how excited he was to get in the car, he waited so patiently for you these past 5 weeks and the big day finally arrived! Teia and I liked the pictures, he's such a handsome boy and it looks like he's already enjoying his retirement Ramone is also very adorable, Houdini is lucky to have such a nice brother! Keep us posted!

Finally! Houdini his home. The long wait is over but well worth it. Such a handsome boy and I think you are right, very happy! Take care of his happy tail. Looks like him and Ramone will get along fine, after Ramone lets his guard down and realizes Houdini is his new buddy. Congrats and keep the updates coming.

Congratulations!!! Such a handsome, smiley Houdini! I can only imagine how long the days and weeks have seemed waiting for this weekend! And what a great homecoming it is! So glad to hear that he is settling into retirement like a pro! I'm sure that he and Ramone will have many brotherly fun adventures together. Looking forward to more great photo updates!

He is doing just great! He came down the stairs today all by himself, no encouragement needed. We are still dealing with his happy tail but he isnt bothered and he loves the vet infact smothered him with kisses! What a sweet boy.

an update! houdini is living up to his name, he has escaped very crate/barrier put in place infact the crate was totally collapsed! So we arent closing the crate door anymore as its dangerous. Trying to block him into a room if needed. He is a pro with the stairs both ways, hes a velcro dog infact if I try to move toa new spot in the house he leans against me. I will never forget the day we were at the kennel and were leaving with Vinny. Houdini had jumped up on the gate outside and I petted his face and said Im sorry Houdini, we've got Vinny now. We all know how that didnt go well. Well how its all changed now. I believe the greys pick you and I just didnt listen to him on that day I definitely learned my lesson, dont rush the process or it may not go well. We love this dog and he apparently loves us too.
