Favorite things...

Now that Hamilton has been home for a couple weeks, we know a few more things he just LOVES:

• Kong ball with the holes for the treats
• Puppy kong with a biscuit and PEANUT BUTTER!
• Kong frog with the squeaker!
• Turkey apple treats with, what else, PEANUT BUTTER!
• His Holee Moley toy with a biscuit hidden inside
• Rope toys and ties, especially if he can drag it around
• Puppy 'keys' teethers
• Baby carrots, and we LOVE chicken shreds with our kibble.

Hamilton came to us at nearly 7 weeks and left his mom and 3 littermates behind- learning to sleep on his own, by himself, has been a challenge for him.  So, every night, to help Hamilton settle to bed- we set the dryer to dry clothes for an hour, and the washer to delay start for an hour... this provides a nice "white noise" effect for him of a soft hum....lulling him to sleep. 

Other things we have tried have been white-noise machines and he LOVES settling in with a good movie! However, he has his preferences as to what's a good movie, and what he doesn't like.

He loves 'Batman- Dark Knight'. LOVES it. 
He growls at the Joker and his men, barks at the thugs, and actually 'watches' the movie with us.

He seems to do fine with '007' and other action flicks, including the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, 'King Kong', 'Hellboy'....and 'Star Wars'.

Of note, he doesn't care for 'Harry Potter' or 'Twilight' movies.
