Hey. What’s up? I'm Richard. Yeah, I know. I’m hunky. That’s what they all say. Actually all 7 or more of my last families said that too. Yep. You got that right. I stopped counting at 7. And I’m just 3 years old. I’m not sure how my life got so wacky so fast, but you know, I think things are looking up for me. I came to CEBR from a shelter a few hours away. They had tried to place me a few times and I kept coming back. Before I went to the shelter I also lived in a few other homes too. They say that I can be bossy. But CEBR knows their bullies so they have me with an experienced foster family who is watching me every second and so far, so good!
I am potty trained and know the value of a treat! I will sit and will come when you call me (just don’t call me “Dick”…I don’t like that!) I get a little fussy in my crate and will whine and bark if I know you are home while I’m in there. But I realize that you are the boss so I will eventually settle down. Each day that I’m here I am slowly getting the idea and today was better then yesterday.
I am a GREAT leash walker and really like my walks. I go at a nice clip and don’t pull much. I walked with my foster bully sister today and we had a great workout! So far I am getting along with the other dogs here in the house…in small doses. It is only good routine to introduce all dogs slowly. I have been outside in the yard, out on walks, and just hanging around the kitchen with one or two at a time. Only one “situation” and it wasn’t my fault, I swear! The other dog was egging me on. I as minding my own business.
I’m in pretty good shape medically. I have a bit of a respiratory infection but I’m on meds for that. My ears and wrinkles are pretty raw but my foster mom knows what she’s doing and that will be gone in a jiffy. I didn’t trust her at first when she tried to clean me up. But she goes gently and lets me know I am a good boy and I realize it actually feels good when all is said and done.
I will write more later. I’m going to sniff around the yard a bit. It’s nice out!
Later Skaters!
Richard
