Kirby (ex-Woody) Uppity dates

[3muttsandaboston]

Wow it's so exiting that he is finally home with you! He sounds perfect for you and your family. My dog gracie is 8 years old and she does the same thing. If I don't notice her sitting by the door she will go right upstairs and pee on the floor so I have to watch her like a hawk. Good luck!

Sounds like introductions went pretty well.

Jenn thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that things are going well and I can't wait to see pictures.

What a smart little guy Woody is!!! He just grabbed a cat bed, drug it across the floor to the area rug, grabbed his kong toy and laid down in the bed to chew on the toy!

The cats kind of just watched it all... probably wondering where he was going with one of their beds, lol.

He is super inquisitive, and seems to be into everything. Don't remember kittens being this nosey!

Not to encourage chaos...but I wonder if Ally has ever met a dog???? What if she fell in love? (I know, I know...)

He "grabbed a Kat Bed" only because he hasn't figured out How to get on the BigBed, yet.

Give him some Time, and he'll be sprawled on the BigBed with his head on your pillow
before you finish brushing your teeth!

Now THAT will really impress da Kitties!

There is no way I'm subjecting this sweet, innocent little pup to her. You can nix that one from happening. Poor guy has been tolerating Zachariah, whom I have never heard hiss until today. Plus, if she bites him, I'd be super upset. She bit Calloway really bad, I'm not going to tempt her with Woody too.

Actually, with long-spined pups, if you want him up on the big bed, a ramp might be in order, as jumping up and down eventually can caused damage. That's pretty sadly common in dachshunds, bassets, and I even knew a low-slund miniature poodle who ended up badly arthritic in his spine because of jumping up and down to the bed.

So glad he's home, and doing so well! Hey, and Zach is just making sure pup learns a healthy respect for cats, that's all!

[jennielynn1970]

Actually, for right now, I'm limiting him to the 1st floor so that the kitties can take refuge on the 2nd floor and in my bedroom (that has always been their sanctuary). When they get along better, and I can find a gate for the kitty litter room to allow kitties in, but doggies out, then maybe we'll allow him upstairs. Until then, he has restricted access.

PS... my bed, at the moment, is covered in kitties! They are happy to be snuggling with mommy!

[Taz_Zoee]

WooHoo!! Woody is officially HOME! I had to check in while I'm up here in Tahoe.
So Jennie, can Zoee finally ask Woody to be her Valentine?
I can't wait to see pictures of him!!

Sounds like a great plan - till Woody discovers he's *ALONE* down on the first floor!
**A-Roooooooooooooo!**

I remember when dear lil Bowser moved into his "apartment" **DOWN** in the Basement ...
And realized he was NOT "with the gang" who was UPstairs ...
OH MY, could he *whimper* & *whine*!!

We managed to ignore his pleadings; and he finally (after a couple of noisy nights
and a few UN-happie shouts down the stairs by New Dad) got the hint
and just settled in each night with a required Bisquit Treet.

It didn't take long for Bowz to "graduate" up to the BunkRoom; although he never had
any desire to jump or try to climb up onto the BigBed.
(Uhh-Ohh ... LES ... gosh we *MISS* Him! )

You ARE going to keep *crating* him at night, aren't you?
He's so used to that routine - be a shame to get him out of a nice habit.

[shais_mom]

aaww I'm glad he's doing so well!
can't wait for pics!

I know how about Jenn ship Ally to YOU and YOU get a dog to encourage her to fall in love?!

He's never going to be truly "alone" down on the first floor. I've never had all 9 cats up in my room at one time. Even in the crate on the 1st floor, he'll still have Furbee, Jorgie, Boris, and possibly Calloway with him. Zachariah at times as well. Finae and Sophie are my two "momma's girls" so they tend to stick to me like glue when there's something going on, and Honey, he'll be fine as long as he gets his canned food. The world could end tomorrow, but as long as he's had his canned food, he'll be fine with it all.

I think once Woody gets a little more "mature" I'll let him come up on the big bed. We've been up since 5am today, and we went for a 30 minute walk and he pooped twice. Definitely got to get him enrolled in obedience class. He's really not bad walking on a leash, but like a typical hound, his nose is to the ground sniffing everything, lol. He'll have a ball up at my mom and dad's house! Soooooo much to sniff and investigate!

Ok, taking a short nap since it's still not 7am, and it IS the weekend! I can handle getting up at 5am, walking and playing, and then taking a nap for a while, lol!

DEFINITELY keeping the crate routine!

I'm glad to hear Woody is at his Forever home and doing wonderfully!
I'll be waiting for pictures

[gini]

Ha! do you get the idea that we would love some pictures? Poor Jenn - up at 4 am to walk Woody and clean up after him - you deserve a nap now!

It is just that Woody has a "following" now - and we want to hear all about his day - even his poops!
