Day Four and ALL is Better!
Here is a list of all the things I learned in just 4 days
My recall is 90% (up from 0% on day one, plus main reason for surrender).
I am E-fenced trained so I can run,run RUN!
I sleep outside of a create in the bedroom of a human family member.
I am house trained. This was an instant learn on my part.
I shake a lot less.
I can run along side a peddle bike while on a lead very well.
Stay tuned for more photos. As today was my first real FREE day, Foster Mom hasn't had much time to pull out a camera. But be sure to watch! I am supper cute and sweet. You will see...
P.S. All my training in the last 4 days has been done with love and care. I am a super fast learner so it only took the 'love' AND 'care' to show me how things really work in a 'pet-family-member' type of environment.

Day Two:
I am a little better today. My foster family got to know me a more and I started to shake a little less. They put a E-Fence collar on me and we spent some time learning how it works. I was so happy to show my Foster Mom how quick of a learner I am. I like to please her. She likes to give me hugs too. I SO LOVE THE HUMAN TOUCH!!!
Today I am on my second dose of Doxy for treating Lyme's Disease. I don't like taking those, but I always do when prompted.
Today was better.....we have so much to cover. I have never been allowed in a home before so I am working very hard to stay calm when indoors. I showed my foster family it only took me a short while today to relax indoors. GOOD NEWS: I haven't had a single 'accident' in the house yet. I prefer to do my 'doo-ties' outside anyway.

Day One (My Doggie diary):
I am so fearful of everything and everybody. I can't help my shaking and the more I try to calm down the more I shake. My voice keeps exploding from my mouth with those silly sounds I make like whines and short 'woofs/howls'. It's so frustrating for me because I don't think my Foster Family knows what to do to make me calmer. Took a nice walk though and that helped ...a little.....Hopefully tomorrow will be better....
