March 6th, night

I had to leave the house for a couple of hours, and I'm sure there was barking but C said Romeo was ok. C had left already when I got home, so Romeo was by himself for a little bit. He started barking from the bedroom as soon as he heard me open the door. I fed him (he scarfed down more Cesar) and then took him for a "walk" outside. Although he is too young to walk on the ground, it is still a good idea to carry him around so he gets used to outside sounds like cars, bikes, sirens, and crazy people. I just walked around for a couple of minutes in the afternoon sun. There were a lot of kids playing in the school playground and the grassy area by the Parkway. Romeo was spooked by a skateboarder coming right at us down a hill, and he almost jumped out of my arms, but I was prepared for such a reaction and just held tight.
I had him on two leashes, one on his collar and one on his harness, just in case. It's shelter protocol, and extends to fosters. People on the street can't socialize with Romeo, and certainly no other dogs.
We got home and played a little, but then took a nap. It was dark when I woke up, and I was afraid it was really late but it was only 8pm. I fed him again and played with him a little. I am keeping him by my side now but he is tired and keeps falling asleep. I hope he sleeps through the night this time, but we'll see.
