🛏️ Crate & Sleeping
Neither dog has spent much time in a crate while in foster care.

- Augie has only used a crate for transportation and veterinary visits and has experienced some motion sickness and anxiety while traveling.
At home, both boys prefer the comforts of a couch over a crate!
- 🛋️ Daugie naps on the couch during the day and sleeps at night in a dog bed on the couch wrapped in his favorite fleece blanket.

- 🦴 Augie enjoys an occasional chew stick
❤️ They politely respect each other’s meals and never eat from the other’s food bowl.
🚗 Car Rides
- Daugie rides quietly in his crate and has done well on trips to the vet.
- Augie can become anxious in the crate and experienced motion sickness on a longer drive, though shorter vet trips have gone better.
👋 Meeting New People
Both boys are friendly, but their personalities shine in different ways.
- 💙 Daugie greets everyone with a wagging tail, loves to jump up to say hello, and happily gives kisses.
- 💙 Augie is more reserved at first. He may keep his tail tucked until he feels comfortable, but once he settles in, he becomes incredibly affectionate and loves to snuggle.

Neither dog has met unfamiliar dogs while in foster care, so their reactions are currently unknown.
