Dinnertime

Dinnertime for the bud.  This is the time when he's most vocal and most excitable and most interactive. He dashes about still wary of me but eager to get food. He will skitter about once it is set down.  He dives in but quickly backs off if I am too close or try to pat his head.  He also barks and whines when I come home because he associates that with food as well.  He eats best outside, alone.  Though today he did eat in his crate in the AM because of the rain.  When he first arrived, he was too nervous to eat in his crate and would leave the food spilled all over the crate.  He eats slower outside and takes his time and eats slower when I'm not close, no gulping and spitting it back up.
