I'm in IL:<br/>Yetti Update <br/>Let’s clear something up right away — Yetti is not a lazy couch potato 😂<br/>He’s middle-aged (we’re guessing somewhere in the 4–6 range until the vet confirms), but he’s active, engaged, and very toy motivated. He enjoys his playtime and is absolutely not destructive. He was left loose in the basement for a supervised 20-minute test and did nothing but calmly explore and play with his toys. No chaos. No destruction. Just Yetti being a good boy.<br/>He’s doing well around the resident crew. They can play near him and he doesn’t escalate. Even when one if the dogs got right in his face with a favorite ball, Yetti handled it appropriately. The key is respectful dogs — dogs that know how to back off when warned. That’s the kind of dynamic he does well with.<br/>Now, certain combinations would not be a good match —if the dogs are too similar and too intense with toys. That’s not a flaw; it’s just knowing personalities. Toy-loving dogs can absolutely coexist, as long as there’s structure and mutual respect.<br/>Bottom line:<br/>Yetti is not a couch ornament. He’s an engaged, toy-loving, middle-aged gentleman who needs structure, appropriate dog matches, and a home that understands how to manage play respectfully.<br/>And he’s settling in more each day.
