Life as a foster

We've had Primco for a week now and he is a character! He is full of fun, and eager to please, loves stuffies, and will take things to his bed. Sometimes it't toys, sometimes it's my husbands slipper, or the dishtowl or the mesh bath-poof from the bathtub. As you've seen in the video from the kennel in previous posts, he will chase (and retrieve!!) toys thrown in the yard. Our tennis ball has a squeaker, and it took him a while to figure out the HE was the one making the noise. In this video you will see him drop the ball, and look around for the critter that is squeaking. The first time (of course I did not have the camera ready for the first time...) he would play with the ball, chomp, squeak, drop it, look around, pick up the ball, chomp, squeak, drop it, look around, over and over and over. I think he's got the picture now though! That is my 9 yr old Aspen with a case of the zoomies in the backgound.



He is doing great on walks, still shies some at loud or unexpected noises and strange objects that we encounter (like garbage cans, and moving realtor sigsn, etc), but we pause to investigate, and then he moves on. We have a fenced yard, but he will potty on leash as well. At the moment, he follows me from room to room, but does not require attention, he just likes to be with you. He does love attention though, and a good neck scratch makes the corners of his mouth turn up in bliss.

We have noy yet encountered very young childern, but with us he has no space issues on his bed, we can sit with him and pet and hug and smooch on him. He his a very curious fella, walks around, sniffs everything to check it out. All in all, he has adapted amazingly well this past week to this new change in life, and is turning into a Prime catch!
