macoduck Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) We measured the carpets And checked all the floors It seemed we did have Room for one more! The kennel knew I was thinking about adding another senior, so when the email came in about a 9.5 year old boy being returned due to marriage/new bride allergies/high maintenance - I was hooked sight unseen. At the kennel he was a bit leery of all the new changes in his life and I had to bribe him with a cookie so show him not all women were "allergic" to him: DH had planned to stay home with the dogs while I went to Dewey and that this was the perfect time to bring home the new guy. Finally he would have bonding time: Bonding time turned in to a trial-by-fire as the new guy got horribly sick with an intestinal virus while I was at Dewey. DH took good care of him and got him to the vet. Gradually he caught on to our daily routine. He won't set foot in the living room - perhaps a rule from his past life. He loves to explore the backyard: He's showing us a big smile and is wagging his tail more each day: He has learned that DH gives out more treats than me and has taught Miss Pudge le mutt that although tiny, he can hold his own in the new pecking order here: After considering assorted names changes, we've decided to keep his original one.

Guest greytbuds Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 To Thane's new family -- what a joy to see this post. I happened to be the volunteer at the kennel that took him in upon his return. He was understandably very frightened and confused by the change in his lifestyle. Bless you for taking him so quickly and for letting us see how happy he is now! Greytbuds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
