Jack - One Week On
posted by Chris at 16:21
Well, it's been a week since we got Jack from White Lodge as a foster, and he is doing rather well. He is an extremely happy hound, and just loves people company. And he's getting on really well with Kai and Monty.
He loves the garden and spends ages out there just mooching around sniffing at things. And when he comes back in, tail wagging nineteen to the dozen, he looks really pleased with himself.
Jack relaxing in the office
When he first arrived we had a few pees on the floor, but that only lasted a couple of days and now he's totally clean in the house. At meal times he tried to mussel in on everyone elses food to start with, but now he knows that his is coming and waits his turn. We did have a bit of dominant behavior, but I think that was because he wasn't sure of the situation. As all the beasts get to know, I am top dog round here, and Jack seems quite happy with that arrangement.
We also had a bit of counter surfing to begin with, but even that has stopped now. I suppose knowing that food magically appears twice a day means you don't have to go find it.
Caroline, Gill's sister, came to see him on Wednesday, and thought he was so handsome and charming. She's not wrong you know.
So, he's clean, well behaved, happy, etc. etc. Is the the totally perfect beast? Not quite - he snores. Not loudly I admit, but enough so you know when he's asleep.
Although we are only fostering him, he's definitely made himself at home, and one of the family. Me thinks this was Claire's cunning plan!!
And today is three months since Monty came to stay.
