We've had him for a week and he doesn't want to to take a walk. It's chilly outside (in the 50's) and is only going to get colder as we live in Massachusetts. I tried one car ride and it was a disaster! He cried and peed and couldn't wait to get home. When we take him out he just stands still and won't walk. So for now he's mostly inside and we have an ex-pen with a bed in it and pee pad that he's using pretty consistently. He doesn't seem to want to to play much (except at 5:00 a.m. when he gets up to pee....then he's full of energy!). But after that he just lays around most of the day. Doesn't interact much with the kids and doesn't want to play. He's eating and drinking OK. The boys are dissapointed because they exepected to have a more playful puppy...but we all love him anyway. Any advice on helping him come out of his shell would be greatly appreciated.
