Did he tandem jump? (Where he is rigged to another person) or was it solo? Tell him to be careful because it is a very addicting hobby..lol. My first time I had a old hungover Jumpmaster screaming "Go..Go..Go..!!!" Out ya go..then the feeling of floating with your heart pounding. Glad he had a good time.

He did Tandem =]
I know he'll be going again! He's definitely a thrill seeker.
His instructor asked him if he gets motion sickness, and he said no...
Then he asked him if he wanted to do some tricks, lol. He had a blast!

Yikes!....
Do you still go?

Just got back from seeing Rollins. We both noticed he didn't sound congested today! I hope that when the vet checks him out (they said most likely Friday when I asked today) that he will get cleared to go home by Saturday. That's my hope. I'd like to have the weekend to get him adapted a little before having to work next week. We will see though. He definitely recognizes us right away and all this guy wants to do is play. I just hope he will adjust when he comes to an open place where he can go wherever he wants.

That's great news! So happy for him, and you guys.
I'm sure he'll adjust rather quickly, they're always a little afraid of change but adapt pretty quick. I would just leave his crate (if that's where he is) open, so he can come and go as he pleases. A lot of dogs seem to feel safe and relaxed in them. That's what we did with Har, before she was fully socialized/ trained. Blocked off areas of the house she shouldn't be in alone, for her safety, but still give her certain freedoms and a safety net to fall back on.

Oh it's so nice to hear that Rollins sounded much better today. That's a sign of a good breeder that he's making sure his dogs are ok before letting them go with their new families. Hoping for a good visit from the vet and that you get to take him home soon.

Thanks for the advice! When we got Nitro I remember at first he was like a kid in a candy store running all over the house excited about what he saw/could find. I think Rollins may be the same but once he gets settled in as you said he should be fine.

Great update! Fingers crossed and prayers said you can bring him home this weekend! As you know I have a BT as well...Leo will be 5 in Dec and he would play all day long if you let him! Loves his ball! Lol
 
Hope everyone is having a good evening. My husband is working late so I
picked up pizza and made a salad for dinner. We are now under a severe t-storm warning until 8. I don't mind the storm ... Just hoping we don't lose power!

Oh yeah even Nitro was 11 and a half and was still wanting to play (although he did want to sleep more than he did when he was a baby...but don't we all). But BT's are very playful. That's why I fell in love with them thanks to Nitro.

I hope you find lots of good stuff at Home Goods!! Enjoy your day!! Continued prayers the antibiotics kick in very soon for sweet Maggie!

I think stores the stores here are a little behind schedule. I didn't see too much Autumn or Halloween decor displayed, just a couple of endcaps which mean it's coming. I bet if I go back next week they'll be aisles of it!
Thank you for the prayers Holiday, Maggie and I appreciate it <3
