Thankfully, no one who lives here has those kind of balls.
He's supposedly a pit/mastiff mix. But if you look at him? Yeah no, he's too small for that. He's got to be mixed with a breed that's more 'talkative', because lord does he like to vocalize. And I found out, they have another dog, that is going with them. It's not that someone is allergic, so much as they were told only one, so they're taking their older female with them. Whatevs. Remy is better off here with me.
He's got a lot of curiosity, and it's what, day 3, and he's already learned the hand signal I use for 'sit'. He's learning to sit and wait at the doors to the outside (something I consider important) but the inside doors, he doesn't seem to understand yes I want him to do that too lol. But hey, progress is not always linear.
He's got some food hang ups. He doesn't seem to feel comfortable eating from the raised dishes, he seems afraid to just stand there and eat. He will take a bite and walk away, etc. But if I hold it, or put it on the floor, he'll dig in a bit more. He does love the bones and chews, and chewed so hard he broke the hoof he was given. I also realized today I was missing things supposed to be in the 'mixed' bag they gave me, and there's a bit CUT down the side of the bag. So tomorrow, it's back to Petsmart with the damaged bag. Because there's a rib bone and another bone missing. There were supposed to be six things, and were only 4. Sigh.
I'd been looking for a suitably geeky name. Then a friend of mine I sent a picture of him to, sent me a picture of a gorgeous bottle of Remy Cointreau all lit up, and the cognac was like the color of his fur. And Remy LeBeau for the geek angle. Not the picture he sent me, but a very pretty shot, and the cognac really shows all the colors in his fur (the non white)
I cried last night. I have Logan's box of cremains on the dresser thing at the end of my bed, next to the tv. He was sniffing at it, and looked at me, and..boom. And I cried and he came and starting giving me kisses and pawing at me, and I told him all about Logan. Then he laid down next to me and put his legs over mine.
He shows such ability to be sweet and loving, and then he gets all rambunctious. But he makes me laugh and sigh in frustration, but.. yeah. Even if this is just a rebound for both of us, this is a better place for him, and I think this is helping me, too.
