July 25th Progress Update

Well, I've been in my foster home a week today and things are looking brighter. I'm playing with one of the other dogs. And I get along with the other 2 as well. They're older and don't play.

My foster mom says I am doing good with the heeling on the leash. We went for a walk one on one and I didn't pull too much. When walking with the "pack" I did fine. All 4 of us got along.

I met some strange men walking the other night, and although I backed up as they approached me, one wanted to pet me, I was sitting waiting for them to pass, I sat calmly and didn't freak out. I also came across some kids. 5 to be exact. They wanted to pet us, and as we sat for them, I didn't get scared when I was petted. But you want to hear something really cool, this neighbor man came up to our fence and I WENT TO HIM. I kissed his fingers through the fence AND I even jumped up on the fence so he could pet my head. YEAH!

I have shown my foster mom that I know what sit & come means. And I'm learning what "wait" means, so I don't dash out the door.

Well, that's it for now. I'll keep you posted, but as I said be for, I'm going to try really hard to conquer my fears and I have a good start on them.
Bye.
