I think he looks kind of tense myself, but Rosie tells me he likes it here.
It's fun getting used to a new pup though. He reacts to noises from the TV. When he hears applause, he jumps up and runs to the window barking. He also reacts when he hears bells (like the phone ringing). He doesn't bark for bells, but he does look like he wants to do something when he hears one. I'm not sure what's up with this behavior. When he hears the applause, does he think he won something? Judging from his race history, he doesn't have much experience with winning so....?
Of course every time he and Rosie go outside, he wants to pee in the exact same spot that she used. I know he wants to be sure to mark his new territory well, but how do I tell him he needs to wait until Rosie finishes. She hates when he sprinkles her!!
Rosie seems to like having a playmate her own age though. They romp and play together. It's fun to watch...:-)!!

Nice porn shot of Nick :-). Glad he is settling in. He has obviously let go of any inhibitions he had.
Just get after him about hovering too close while she is peeing. He can learn to stand back for a few seconds. I have had to teach a few boys the same thing over the years.

At my house, it used to be the other way: Sam would start to pee, and Oreo would crouch in his way. These days, the current girl, Jacey, stands and stares until Sam's finished, than safely pees where Sam can't get her.
Glad Nick's settling in so well.
