My dog's energy only slightly subsided.

He was a stray here for some time, has social network, and his favorite ladies he likes to visit with.

I did it to prevent child support and reduce the amount of outdoor trips. I do not have a yard.

His personality didn't really change. Instead of being all over the place, he guards and socializing more intentionally. We still walk the same amount, weather permitting, almost as much as he used to while roaming when he was on the streets.

This helped us both adjusting to living indoors again. A few months before, I has just moved into the apartment from having lived and traveling in the van full-time.

The only time he turns into a puddle of "woosey-goo" is for the elderly lady a few doors down. She was formerly his pup-er-oni supplier while he was on the streets.

Maverick has been now been sober for 10 months.
