Elgin is doing very well.  He is nearly housetrained, I won't call it yet because he has a tough time waiting if he has to poop. He hasn't peed in the house in a very long time, probably since the first week he was here,  and he pooped in the house once in the last three weeks although it was right by the front door.  He needs to poop very soon after he eats so we try to be very attentive to him at that time and he will definitely try to let you know he wants to go out however he loves to go outside so he asks for that a lot. He has been to some of the kids' sporting events and has done well with the crowds.  He lets people approach him and isn't barky at other dogs unless they are huge and then he likes to let them know he's there. We have had no concerns about taking him anywhere,  he fits right in to family life.
