Hello everyone! I’m doing great! I laid down the whole way back to Bonduel after I was picked up from the shelter to go to a foster home. The introductions went really well; I didn’t feel aggressive at all. I ate my food without any issues and didn’t mind when the humans came near. When their mix came over to check me out, I was cautious but didn’t react too much. When their doodle stuck his nose in, I did growl and lift a paw, but that was all. I even left some food in the bowl and walked away. When they put their dogs’ food down, I didn’t go anywhere near it.

I did try to sneak things off the counter and the table, and I tried to crawl up on the furniture. I’m learning “no” very quickly, though. They gave me a bath, and I did amazingly well. I’m actually pretty chill. I definitely do not like the kennel. I was whining and aggressively chewing at it, so they ended up letting me sleep with them and their two dogs. I was perfect all night long. They plan to work with me by putting me in the kennel for a couple of minutes and then letting me out, so I can get used to it and realize that I’m not going to be left in it indefinitely.

We went for a couple of walks this morning, and I walked really nicely on the leash. I only pulled a little bit at the start and took correction well. I’ve started playing with their two dogs, so things are looking good.
