Oh yea, he loves his bed! It's a nice memory foam dog bed, topped with a dog blanket, topped with a cheap fuzzy bed from the grocery store. He loves to squish the fuzzy bed up and tuck it underneath himself - so cute!
Jackson follows me around, which is typical boxer, but I also think he's pinching himself, trying to figure out how and why he's here. Rescues seem to know they've been saved, and they show their gratitude tenfold, compared to what their humans have done for them.
He got his first Kong today, smeared inside with peanut butter and frozen, to enjoy while he was crated this afternoon when Joe and I went out. Talk about a hit! When we got home, I removed the Kong to wash/refill/refreeze it, and as soon as Jackson came back inside from his potty break, he went back in his crate and sat there staring at me - hoping for a repeat, I guess - hahaha!
It's so much fun watching him enjoy things most dogs take for granted. I feel just as lucky as he does!!
