Yes, Igor had a bad past but you couldn't tell it now, he is a total love sponge.
We named the little chin Pippin, and he is already relaxing and doing much better. He stopped barking all of the time and is investigating his home. He will come right to the wires and let me talk with him, but I'm not allowed to attempt to touch him yet. Now if something startles him or he hears a new noise, if I go and talk quietly to him, he stops barking and listens to me. He seems to want me to pay attention to him, but he dictates how.
He is 2 months old today, so I gave him a nice long piece of hay (since if I understand correctly he is to young yet for treats) and told him happy birthday and how much I love him, and how cute he is and how happy I am that he has come to be my friend. He listened very carefully, and then went back to repositioning his kleenex box, which is his favorite thing to do.
We will be friends eventually. He needs time and I'm more than willing to let him do things at his comfort level. He has already, in my opinion, showed me he wants to be friends.
