Ok, we've had Maverick for about a week now and so far he has barely wagged his tail. Well today I left him alone in the kitchen for a minute and came back and was SO happy that he didn't go potty that I was petting him and telling him what a good boy he was and all of a sudden he just started licking my face like crazy (another thing he has NEVER done) and his little tail was wagging a mile a minute! I'm so happy because I know now that he is really starting to bond with us and remember who we are and everything. I was sort of sad when we first got him because he just wouldn't wag his tail or give kisses like our other dogs do, I thought maybe he didn't like us. Now I can see that he was just scared and was warming up to us. I hope that he continues to give kisses and wag his tail with us more and more. He's such a happy looking little dog when he gets his tail going, it's funny.
