Mr. foster puppy has found himself a home

Well that was a fast foster which, in the beginning, seemed like a long one, indeed. Little puppydude, Shank, is now happily adjusting to his new home and making 3 little girls very happy, I'm certain. He was SOOO good for his last 4 days with us, after his home had been determined.

On the 2.5 hour part of his drive to his new home he was a pretty good traveller, was great in his crate and wasn't trying to get out and harass Chimera at all. We had a horrible time with construction along the way and there was some excitement with a standoff inside a home as well and the RCMP had the road closed - crazy! But, all in all, it's worked out and Shank has a new home and a new name. He's now known as Bubbs and I'm sure he'll grow into it. Such a happy guy.

On to the next foster (after I finish the vetting of my own, I hope).

Puppy has a name and an adoption link

Just a short post this afternoon. While little mister has been busy playing and causing havoc, I've made him a post online so he can be showcased and find a home of his own. I don't like to hold up puppies who are healthy as they should be enjoyed by their new families; most people like puppies.

With the listing, he really needed a name. I was stuck. I have no idea if it's just because I've been preoccupied with puppy duty, doggy duty or life, but I wasn't coming up with anything. So, the dear little man's name is Shank. It was almost Shark, because of his razor sharp teeth that are tasting everything and clinging on to my feet and pants as I walk... but that would be too intimidating as an adult dog so I changed it a little and Shank it is. I should have just called him Fluffy because compared to my dogs, he is.

We've had a nail trimming that went pretty well so he no longer feels to have kitten claws which hook in my sweaters. We've got sit worked on and giving paw should be no issue. He's pretty bright. Housetraining is coming along well and crate training has been a piece of cake so far.

So, here's his link, check him out and pass it on!
