Happy but scared :) (New pictures addded Post #54)

I am rushing this morning and really shouldn't even be on Pet Talk, but I had to check this thread. Thank you so much for the updates and pictures. What a cutie patootie Taz is!! He is blending in with Ginger even better than could be expected at this point. I loved the little story about the chewie. That was a very good "test" to see how well they will "share" and they both passed with flying colors! Ripley has done exactly the same thing with Bella. Bella is very laid back, and from what you say about Ginger she is too. It sounds like a perfect match. Congratulations to you for choosing just the perfect "little man." I continue to be amazed that someone gave him up! Had he been at the shelter very long? I am thinking you must have snatched him up pretty quickly and he couldn't have found a better home!!

That is wonderful!!! Everyone knew everything would be okay!! Sometimes it just isn't immediate. Taz and Ginger look like they are very happy together! I love the pics of Taz and his "bobo". Boomer has a blue one, and I saw in her signature that MoonandBeam's Sunny has a pink one!! Must be a happenin' toy!

HE BELONGS!!!

It certainly looks like things are going to be a-okay! Taz is a little cutie and Ginger sounds so sweet that I think things will continue to get better and better between them.

I also thank you for adopting Taz because a lot of people would have overlooked him because of his age. It is nice to know that someone was caring enough to adopt an older dog.

Congratulations! I'm glad to hear Taz & Ginger are getting along, that's great. They will become better friends in time, in a few months they'll be running around together & you'll wonder how you ever got along with only one!

PS- Jack is a carrot maniac. He runs out doors with his mini-carrots
and you'd think I'd gave him prime rib!

What an inspiration for me, Joyce! Right now my life is too full for another dog, but, hey, ya never know!

Thanks for the lovely pictures of Taz! I'm thrilled he had such a good time and was such a STAR! He's adorable! Yay that he and Ginger are getting along so well!!!

Things truly are getting better every day. One of the things that really bothered me, made me feel sad/guilty, was that Ginger wasn't getting any cuddle time. Everytime I tried to touch her, pet her, make a fuss over her, Taz would get between us and jump in my face. He now has seemed to learn that Ginger gets cuddle time, too, and sits nearby and watches. As soon as I am done he jumps in, which is fine. It is such a relief.

I was worried about bringing in a new dog and Ginger losing her cuddle time. Thanks Denise and Pawsitive Thinking. I contacted Denise in a panic a few weeks ago when I thought I had found a dog and asked her to do a reading on Ginger to make sure that she was ready to give up her cuddle time and possibly her hidden treats. Denise did in fact do a reading and said that Ginger had a very generous nature that was ready to welcome and accept a new friend. Without your help Denise I am not sure I would have had the courage to go through with this. You were right, she is fine.

Have you noticed how many hits this thread is getting? I think that is a testament to how well loved Ginger is around here and how excited so many of us are about the idea of an addition to your little family.

Just remember you are the Top Dog of your pack. Seems like everybody is willing to accept that and get the idea that you decide what goes.
