I wanted to share a little update about the wonderful Neil Patrick Harris.

He’s settling in as famously as you’d expect. He loves his brother, Gus, and they spend their days cuddling on any soft surface they can find, following each other around the house, or scavenging for snacks. He loves stuffed soft toys, and would spend all day licking them if he was allowed to. He discovered that he loves broccoli and carrots for healthy snacks, but isn’t a fan of anything sweet (blueberries).
We’re working on not marking in the house, but are extremely motivated by a training treat for going potty outside. Now that his cough is getting better, we plan to spend more time outdoors at our favorite park, getting some sniffies and exercise in!
It has been such a treat getting to watch Neil come to life, he is incredibly verbal and assertive, and will always tell you what he thinks. We love a man that communicates well.
Here are a few pictures of the past few weeks together. Thank you again for letting us love Neil, he’s a character!
