He likes his new home, including his new bed. Stuart is very smart. He is already housebroken (took about two weeks) and learning words like “walk” and “food.”

Here are a few photos of Stuart. He is quite happy living in the country and is even nice to the chickens here, though he likes to run up and startle them.

On the first day he came to live here and went for his first walk down my long dirt driveway, he suddenly sat down and stared out over my 4-acre field (pictured) for a minute or two.

I didn’t know if he ever has seen anything like that expanse of space.

He looked stunned on another day when I took him down to the river, and he got to see that for the first time.

He has been able to dip his paws in the river, and also in a creek and to go for many beautiful walks.

On my 35 acres, Stuey romps and runs. I call him Stuey or Stu because my late brother’s name was Stuart, and that was why I came to adopt this sweetheart when I saw him on your website.

He has much love and gentleness here, and he is able to express his love back and cuddle up. He is working on not jumping on people out of his exuberance.

Thank you, Burnett County Humane Society, for this wonderful dog.=

From Stu:  My new mom is also patient about my bad habit of digging holes, and she does not seem amused. But I will get this down as far as rules for me to follow at my forever home.”
