JR, as well as his entire litter have been around our entire pack since they were a couple of weeks old, but they've always been 'behind bars' so they couldn't get hurt is someone panicked about the puppies. Once they got older we moved them to their box in our dinning room, so all the big dogs could reach in and lick the faces of the pups and vice versa, but they were still protected. Once they were 8 weeks old we allowed them to be loose in the house with certain big dogs while being supervised. First their mom, then big brother Bow, then daddy Romeo. Now that we are down to just JR, he no longer has a dog to play with so I decided tonight was the night. Adrian was at the neighbor's house watching a football game, so I could control the energy in the room without his influence. It went great! Everyone was excellent with JR. Bow, Sky and Izza took turns playing with him. Anytime he needed to go potty he would run over to his box and try to jump in (which he's not capable of yet), so I would place him back in his box, he would go potty in his litter box, get a drink of water, then ask to get back out for more play. It was a fun evening and everyone is sleeping soundly now. I took lots of photos so I could show Adrian how great everyone was with him. Tomorrow night we might allow him to be present for playtime. ;)
