hmmmmm.........what to do

[schteve_d]

Thanks for noticing delidog!! Yep, we got one week under our belts and things are going great!! He's wormed his way into being a full-fledged family member!!

[schteve_d]

Well, since delidog reminded me (thanks again), I thought I'd post a few pics I took on Docker's one week anniversary. I really didn't get any good ones, but I thought I'd put 'em up anyway.


Still amazed at the bones to be found in the yard!



"Look, I know how to sit now!"



"We all get along well enough now to rip the sh&* out of one of Daddy's old lion slippers!"



Tasha and Docker in what was formerly know as "the yard", now somewhat affectionatly refered to as "the toy/bone graveyard".

What do you Mean...You Didn't get any good pics???

They are Fabulous!!!!!!!

What a Cutie Doc is...such a Gentle expression!!!

Love the Bone/Toy Graveyard.....sounds like a Steven King Novel!!

It is Great to see and hear how well they are getting along and sharing Daddys' Lion Slippers!!!

Simply a Great Story

Post Pics ANYTIME!!!!

Yeah Doc!!! Welcome to Your Forever Home!!!
And Thank You Bud and Tasha for being patient!!!
And Thank You Steve for your dilligence in saving this Wonderful Pup!!!!

Is it possible for a dog to get any cuter than that?! And sooooo smart! You are so lucky to have had him find you the way he did!

You haven't mentioned how the housetraining is going and I'm just curious - I'll bet he's really good at that too.

What a cutie that Docker is! How nice that they are all getting along so well. Love that back yard of yours!

We have not had one single accident in the house!!! At least not that I've found!

I don't know if he just followed Bud and Tash, if someone trained him at one time, or what but whatever the reason, I'll take it!! He really does whatever Tasha does so that could be it, he follows her around non-stop (which kinda bugs her sometimes) but I'd rather he follow her than Bud (she's the more obedient!). I believe it's called "lifestyle assimilation"!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I like that terminology *lifestyle assimilation*. I noticed the same thing when we adopted Tucker. That first day he seemed to meld into the routine as if he knew it. Now I know what to call it.

Your pictures are ever so good. Thanks for posting them. As you can tell, there are a number of us who have really been caught up in the wonderful account of your finding and making Docker part of your family. It has been an amazingly uplifting story and we really don't want it to end. (hint, hint).

And speaking of pictures, there is one that has mysteriously disappeared. I was just about to pm a few of our PT sweethearts to check it out, and it's no longer there.

I'm afraid I don't have any new pictures but I can tell you that Docker is definately a full-fledged member of the family. There has been no growling for about 4 days now. They are all eating out of the same bowl with no problems. Tasha and him play almost constantly on our walks (off-leash), whenever we go in the yard, and for the first time last night had a game in the house!!

AND, I was finally worthy last night; I got my first *BIG* Docker kiss!

Thanks guys, for the interest, and I will try to be a little better "pup-dater"!

And don't give up hope, Rachel! There must be a girl out there somewhere who loves the snow and cold and is interested in a bald, dog-loving dude who can't cook and puts the toilet seat down roughly 60% of the time!

The First Kiss!!!!!

Aww!!!!!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Is this the picture you were looking for Rachel?



it is still there!!

[Rachel]

Yes, Amy, as a matter of fact it is. Don't know why I couldn't find it the other day.

Steve, it isn't a matter of finding someone, it will be a matter of will they meet the criteria necessary to be acceptable to all the cyber moms who have adopted you. I just want to let it be known that I am the first in line on that list.

I couldn't be happier for how well things are going with Docker. Eating out of one bowl is simply amazing. I think you have the Midas touch with dogs, Steve.

Since I am guessing Steve and I are roughly in the same ange range, i won't add my name as a cyber mom...but how bout a sis?


Glad to hear things are going so well with Docker!! Isn't great when #3 just fits in like they have been there all along?
