Dodger

This is just to thank you for bringing Dodger to us. There is no way we could ever give him up -- he's an amazing dog and we love him very much.

Every day he is more and more comfortable being with us, and now I think he knows when I leave for work that I will come home to him. He still has to be in the same room with you every minute, but I think that will pass. Dodger is still happy, friendly, and full of fun. You can tell his foster mother that he still looks like he is jumping around on springs like Tigger -- he jumps and bounces all over the place. Also, he has had no accidents in the house in the past few days, and is using the dog door to go potty, and also just to explore the yard and check out anybody passing by. We continue to reinforce every time he goes out with a Bil Jac treat and tell him he's a "good boy!" As weather permits, I plan to take him out to visit more neighbors and some new dog friends.

He and Sadie chase each other around the house and have been playing more and more. He does not let her push him around, nor does he try to dominate her -- it's a good match. Sometimes when Sadie is playing with one of her toys she "play growls" -- we call it talking, and Dodger rushes over to "defend" us from her and barks at her. It's really cute.

He's a great lap dog. He is letting me get more of the matting and snarls out of his ears. We are giving him a fish oil supplement and check out the supplement MWDR receommended -- his coat should fit his personality! He has made a good transition to the Eukanuba dry and it's funny to watch him eat because he sits down and eats one nugget at a time. He seems uninterested in any dog biscuits we've offered him, but believe me, he's not starving!

So far he has not tried to escape from anywhere, and does come when you call him. His first owners taught him well. I wish I could tell him or her what a joy he is to us, and that he seems most happy in his hew home. It's a great match! Thanks again, and thanks to MWDR for bring us together. Bobbie and Rod
