Deeds has been doing a fantastic job of going outside to potty in the backyard with the other four. Sometimes, he leads the way and gets surpassed by the others who are much faster, or he gets trapped in the back of the crowd by a breezy jungle of wagging tails.

The little chap is so affectionate and tends to look me straight in the eye for the longest time. Harrigan looks me in the eyes, too, but I assume hers is an attempt to mesmerize me with her powers or to put a hex on me.

Here are a few photos of Deeds, today. The best is where he was giving Chief tons of kisses.
