Here’s a few photos:

Cosmic running around on top of the cliff on our neighbor's land.

For the first few days, he was really scared to be away from home (his family lives in Olympia, WA) but he has gotten a lot more comfortable now, and him and Marvin are really enjoying each others’ company (when he’s not stepping on Marvin while he’s sleeping, or nipping constantly at Marvin’s face…).

For the first couple of nights, Cosmic was shitting all over the floor every night, but he’s stopped now, so I don’t have to walk around with a lantern looking for turds before walking around anymore. He’s pooping outside now, and helping us build up some compost. (Here’s that dog/scat/bestiality porn you were promised)

Cosmic taking a shit in the woods and looking all sheepish.

It’s been really rainy and haily and snowy for the past week so Cosmic is getting a little bit of cabin fever. He spends a lot of time shredding up cedar bark, chasing his tail, chewing on bones, and pouncing on Marvin.

Cosmic loves snuggling with Marvin, and sometimes the feeling is mutual.

Here’s Cosmic strutting around in a snowstorm, looking like a real mountain dog:
