Reilly was a really great dog but we found some issues that we were unable to overcome.
Our biggest impasse was his love for digging. He was born to dig and we happen to be renting a home. Not a good mix! We tried tiring him out (not possible), limiting time spent in yard (he'd go straight for digging), watching him in the yard (turn your back & new hole). After about 3 weeks of high stress we decided he needed a home where he could dig. The shelter made us feel like crap. I guess you could say we learned a few lessons about adopting. I guess you can't always teach a young dog new tricks :(
Christopher will miss him most. They were buddies. The cats have come back out of the basement. But, we will try again- maybe in the Spring!
