A few Delta pics...

[Glacier]

Delta has settled right back in. No problems with the other dogs. He's eating well and keeping it down; playing with his buddies and basically acting like he was never gone!

Hanging out on his bed in the computer room. He seems to really like it in here. I think because it's quiet and he can just relax. He also gets his extra meals in here so it's a good place!

Lounging in the yard this afternoon.

Getting a little sick of me and the flashy thing! You can kinda see how skinny he is in this one. His coat hides most of the weight loss though, but I can feel all his bones when I pet him.

Tonight was the first time he's eaten outside with the rest of the dogs.

He totally enjoyed his chunk of moose!

Thanks again everyone.

OMG!

I was gone for a few days, and this is the first thread I happen to see! What FANTASTIC news that Delta is back.

I am so happy for you Glacier and Delta is looking great!

[chocolatepuppy]

Delta, you are a sight for sore eyes! :D I spent many nights, looking up at the stars, most likely the same stars you were looking up at, and praying for you. I'm so happy you're home safe. :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Delta, its lovely to see you back home where you belong. You've got to be the most famous husky in the world!

[Ginger's Mom]

Delta! It is so good to see you settling back in at home. He is acting like nothing happened :rolleyes: , isn't that typical? ;)

[Pam]

I read the *Lost* thread and never did comment because I felt words were so inadequate and I never know the right things to say at a time like that. It's great to see Delta back home where he belongs. Enjoy your moose, Delta, and don't even think about ever leaving again. You've got it good at home silly boy! ;)

[Catty1]

Glacier - is Delta any less shy now that he is home? Just wondering if there was a change.

Glad to see Delta HOME and lovin' it!

[Glacier]

Glacier - is Delta any less shy now that he is home? Just wondering if there was a change.



In some ways, he has changed. His behavior in the yard is exactly as it always has been. He follows me just out of reach and talks to me. He has a huge vocabularly. When I tell him to find a safe place, he makes me follow behind him for a few minutes until he picks his spot. Then he waits for me to catch him, pet him or carry him inside (Delta doesn't walk on a leash, never has, he has to be carried if I want to put him somewhere. I'm hoping to change that!)

The difference is now his new safe spot is against the door to the house and he seems to want to come in. He's been sleeping inside and not freaking out. Not bugging the cats, not pacing around, not trying to bolt for the door. He's much more relaxed inside. When I hug him, he goes limp and relaxes into me if he's inside, instead of going board stiff. He is getting his extra meal inside so that may be helping!

So the short answer is "sort of"! I'm hoping he will continue to want to be inside more and hopefully tame up a bit more. I've always believed he could be braver and maybe this will help him unpack a bit more of his baggage.

[pnance]

He definately looks like he's settling back in. :D Considering how long he was missing it's amazing how good he looks.

[finn's mom]

Handsome Delta, glad to see he's settling back in nicely...

[Anita Cholaine]

It's so nice to see you again, Delta!! :D You're such a handsome boy... It's so better to be warm and happy at home, right?? ;)

[Alysser]
