Update from His New Foster Home

It's been a week now that Jimmy has been at his new foster home. This is what they had to say about him.

"Jimmy has been settling in well. I believe he and Oxford have worked out the lead dog role, the leader being Ox. We have had no destructive behaviors at all. He has been crated during the workday. He is reluctant and may whimper a bit, but he gets over it pretty quickly. You do want to be careful about him getting out from under a gap in the fence as we found out Saturday.(Note: At my home he didn't try find a way out, but I had 4 girls vs. competing for an Alpha role with a male.) However, he stayed within a couple of blocks and when spotted, he came when called very nicely.

We have been doing even more work on his recall. We took him to a fenced dog park on Sunday night. At the dog park it was awesome watching them work as a team sweeping the high grass for birds. We did some hide and seek finds for freeze dried pheasant wings. Oxford pointed and Jimmy backed him up and honored him almost like he has done that before.

He is a really laid back dog for his age and breed. He has barked but maybe once or twice. He loves to sleep on the end of the bed or on the couch next to you and has been our little shadow. He loves stuffed toys and rawhide bones. He is very playful with Ox they have a couple wrestling matches in the morning and before bed. They love to chase each other in the yard. I believe he loves having a playmate in Ox but he also loves people and is content to be an armrest next to you on the couch all evening."

New Play Pal

I've gone to a foster home that has another dog, Oxford that found his forever home and needed a playmate to burn off his energy. Well, we hit it off great from the first paw in the yard.
Cooling off after some serious play. It's funny too, 'cuz before I came Ox would never go in the pool. See what infulence I have on other dogs

I can make friends with anyone. See! Dodger and I are buds too.

'Ya Know

I'm thinkingthat chow time is a good thing. Glad there aren't any more dogs though. It's kinda crowded.

I Think I'm One of Them

It seems that after a month, at least one of them wants to play with me.

Ali doesn't like me playing with Sienna and she let's me know it too.

The Little Pleasures In Life

Just laying around and enjoying a teddy.

although...
that chew stick looks awful inviting. I think I want it.
I just can't decide, stuffy or chew stick. Chew stick wins!
Yummy!

My First Bird Test

This was my first test to scent out the birds and see if I have potential for hunting. While it's not a sure thing or a perfect test, I did find it, but mostly I had fun with everyone else.

They're Coming Around

It's taken a bit to convince them I'm okay to play with, but they're starting to play with me.

One Of Us Needs A Furever Home

Can you tell which one of us, Incredible Super Pups, is waiting for their special furever family and which one looks pretty settled in?

For a little down time from running around or playing with stuffies, a chew stick sure passes the time away.
