Now 4 yrs later, Samson adores Marq..Waits by the door for him to come home, demands his nightly scratches, you name it...So my advice as far as men, take it very slow..Let Tyson do the approaching. Try not to startle him, let him feel like he's in charge of this...Not sure what the deal is with the dishtowel tho, that's a new one on me. Perhaps his previous owner used to snap him with it or something...It's hard when you get a rescue and can't know what's happened previously so it's like stepping thru a minefield in a ways. BUt at the end of the day, it is so worth it...I've rescued 2, Samson and my lovely Tia and I got to say, rescues make some of the best comapnions as they want so badly to please you and are so happy to have a forever home... i learned something today. Savannah does the same thing of going to the bathroom in the house when we leave. I just figured it was because she was never kept in a house-she was outside in a "kennel" 24/7, after watching her the first few months i realized that she wont go in the house unless we do leave and she is out. We attempted to leave her out a few times and it didnt work because of the pee/poo issue. So seperation anxiety can cause this. huh i am just embarrassed that after so many years of being owned by boxers i didnt think of this. I havent ever been owned by one with seperation anxiety though.
