Kirby (ex-Woody) Uppity dates

[AdoreMyDogs]

Almost there, Woody! I know you'll just love your new momma, and I hope she loves you back just as much! Karen, I hope Woody wasn't too much of a homewrecker for ya. He never actually pooped at my house, but he peed a few times. I feel bad that he kept you so busy, but just hope and pray that you enjoyed yourself despite having to keep up with a busy puppy.

I hope we have pictures of the happy reunion!

I can hardly wait for Woody to meet his new Mommy, Karen, what you have done is just wonderful. It has been so nice for all of us who have been following Woody's adventure to know that he was safe with you for a few days.

Sorry he turned you off on having a puppy of your own - even though it is completely understandable.

There's always an older pup (3-4mos) to consider instead of a puppy.
They have much better attention spans. Just a thought Karen,

I can't wait for word that he's home at Jenns house. (more pictures)

Where's Our WOODY ???

It's been 5 Hours since his Mom was to pick him up ...

Can we have a Progress Report?

How goes the KAT Intros?

Quick update from me! I picked Woody up this afternoon, and meeting Karen was fantastic! Got to meet Ms. Logan, although she wasn't too thrilled, lol. I think she just wanted the puppster gone

John helped me get the crate in the back of my car, but on the way home I ended up stopping and moving Woody up front because he was not happy being relegated to the back seat. He calmed down after a bit and it was a quiet ride home.

Gotta say that the immediate introduction Woody got was to Zachariah, because Zach was waiting at the door for me (as usual). Zach is a chubber of a cat, but man, seeing him all puffed up was a treat! He's one big boy when he does the Halloween pose!

Woody has met a bunch of the cats, got smacked by Zach twice (meanie cat!), but I think the most amazing intro was with Calloway. I was so worried about how Calloway would respond, and I wish I had my camera, but right now, Woody is lying next to me on the sofa, and Calloway is on the top back of the sofa, right behind me and Woody! I thought for sure Cal would freak out or be super scared, but he's not. Woody sniffed at him, and Cal didn't even hiss!! Fluff hissed at him too, but he ran to the back room on the 2nd floor and has been relaxing there.

Furbee is sleeping on the kitchen countertop, Finae is on top the entertainment unit at the moment, Boris is on top of the fridge (she's ALWAYS there, so nothing unusual), and Jorgie is sleeping on the ottoman watching the pup! I can't believe they are really this calm! I'm sure they are not pleased, but they are definitely acting a whole lot better than I had expected! Sophie and Honeybun are in hiding here somewhere, lol.

Woody did get a bath as soon as we got home. I bought some puppy shampoo with jojoba oil and stuff in it, and he seems to be scratching less. I think his skin was really dry. He whined while being washed, but behaved a whole lot better than the cats would have! I dried him off with the diffuser attachment on my hairdryer on a low setting, and he tolerated that as well.

We've gone for 2 walks so far. He's done really really well. Although the second walk I forgot a baggie, and he pooped on the sidewalk! I grabbed a baggie that was around a newspaper on the curb and used that. Gosh, I can't believe I forgot it, but I was wearing a different coat from the first walk. I think I missed the cue "I gotta go pee! NOW!! when he sat at the door, because 2 mins. later he peed on his new doggie bed. Sigh. Oh well, that cover is now in the laundry, and we went for a 2nd long walk! He's such a smart little guy! The fact that he already learned from Karen about sitting at the door to go out!

He's been playing with his toys, and I have to say, I bought almost every puppy teething toy I could find at PetSmart. He's liking the puppy kong with the teething chewy you insert into it. He's been gnawing on that for a bit. He's also been stealing the CATNIP toys!! Not sure if he smells the catnip or not, but those are the ones he's grabbing, along with the ones that jingle or rattle. I've been grabbing the smaller ones and putting them out of reach.

Wow! It's only 5:30, and it's been a busy afternoon! I'll update more later, and get pics when I can. Sleepy puppy next to me at the moment, so going to enjoy this!!

Again, thank you so much to everyone that made this possible!!

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.

[krazyaboutkatz]

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

[finn's mom]

I'm happy to hear he's home and that the introductions were as smooth as they were. Good luck with your new addition!

[Reachoutrescue]

I am so glad that Woody is home now! It sounds like he is going to adjust just fine to all those puddy cats! I just hope they are okay with him. They must be scared! Great job all on getting this great pup to his new forever home! Can't wait to see pics!
