4/29/20: The First Night

4/29/20: Our first night was a little rough, but got better. Despite his big bed and lots of pillows, Oakley had a hard time getting settled and was trying to get up every 20 mins or so and panting constantly. We took him outside around 3am then decided to give in to the fact that he kept looking at our bed. When we put him in bed between us, he instantly relaxed and slept the rest of the night giving us all some much-needed sleep. At this rate, he may be sleeping with us for a while. This morning, he decided he wanted on the couch, and before Amy could stop him, he hobbled over and jumped his front leg up. He is definitely strong-willed. It’s hard to keep him comfortable and he still gets scared and whines some and still wants to do the things he likes (he was insistent on moving to his favorite couch spot just now and did everything it took to get there). He is still such a sweet and loving boy and we will adapt. ❤️
