I had a nice note this morning when I got to the shelter that Piper was adopted. The staff thanked me and said my hard work with her lately was very noticable as she has calmed down and the people who adopted her were very impressed. I've been the only one working with her because for some reason the volunteers and staff just didnt want to train her. She didn't even get taken out for potty as much as other dogs. I had her out of her kennel for hours on Friday. I bathed her, brushed her, and cut her nails. I walked her around a lot, trained her, sat under a tree with her, and tried to do a lot of things to ease her anxiety of being couped up all day. It worked because when I put her back in on Friday evening, she curled up with a toy and quietly played with it instead of jumping all around yelping and barking. I am so very proud of my Piper and I hope she's with people who love her like I do. I will miss her so much. I feel SO BAD though because I was in Dallas doing a transport when she got adopted and I couldn't say goodbye. I probably would not have let go of her leash had I had a chance to say bye though.
I will now be taking Banjo through obedience. He's a shepherd mix. I have no clue what he's mixed with. I will post a picture when we get one of him.
