| 4/20/08 - Captain continues to be a fabulous guest here at the Riverview. He has been getting lots of exercize chasing Honeydew around the back yard and up and down the stairs. Captain just loves everybody, and I can see him living with another dog, male or female, or not. Captain likes the chance to climb into bed with his person at night, but will sleep contentedly on a dogbed in the bedroom if the bed gets too crowded! He doesn't misbehave in the house at all, so there has been no need for me to crate him. Captain figured out the doggie door very quickly, so that now that the weather is good he can come and go as he pleases. He is a sweetie! 3/31/08 - What a LOVE!!! Captain is the perfect guest, and he is healing up nicely and is ready for his forever home! He had a great day at the BRAD In SAnford this weekend, and so enjoyed meeting all the humans and canines he could. He even seemed to think that he would like to meet the bunnies that were in full view--he kept wagging his little tail at them. I think he would be oK with cats, but I don't know for sure. He still loves his walks, and is great on a leash--essentially no pulling at all, whichis good because he is a big fellow. And he continues to impress everyone with his affable temperament. His eye looks so much better, and I bet it feels better, too. Captain would like to be a nighttime 'bed dog', but is OK sleeping on a dogbed. We haven't tried crating him after the first few days he was here because a crate is unnecessary as he is not destructive. We think he is a doll and are sure you will too! 3/21/08 - Handsome Captain spent the day at the Vet's for his "nip and tuck". While under anaesthesia, they also removed his eyelid growth, and trimmed his toenails. Right now he is snoozing on the carpet next to me. I guess the surgery took alot out of him in more ways than one! Last night he leaped up onto my bed for a few cuddles at bedtime, but soon jumped right down again. Just as well because I only have a double bed, and there's not alot of extra room. But it was lovely having a Boxer in my bed even if only for a few minutes. He continues to be a wonderful guest here at the Riverview, and has earned full house priveledges. I have to admit that since he IS so good I have not insisted on the crate, which he was not a fan of. Post-neuter, while he needs to stay quiet, I may try him again in the crate for short periods of time while I am not working. 3/18/08 - What a big happy lug! Captain met everyone at our Vet's office with his long nub busily wagging, and impressed them with his handsome physique as well as his even temperament. Captain was Heartworm and Lyme Disease negative, so he goes in for his neuter on Friday. He will have the growth on his eyelid removed while he is under anaesthetic. He rode beautifully in the car, and is so relaxed about life that he laid down on the floor of the waiting room at the vet's office! Captain and Charlotte are having fun romping in my big back yard. I'm having fun watching them run and chase and box with each other out there! He puts a smile on my face. 3/16/08 - Captain is a big, happy, friendly white boy . He arrived safely at the Riverview from a local shelter where he was placed after his owner died. Captain needs to be neutered, and while he is under anaesthetia SCBR will have his eyelid growth taken care. (His foster mom will take care of giving him a bath.) Captain, despite the stress of losing his owner, spending time in a shelter and then being transported to a new home, was all wiggle butt to meet new people here and new dogs through the baby gates. He is so easy going that I even allowed him to meet Beau face to face and took them both for a stroll through the neighborhood. He does pull a little bit on the leash, but for walk number one was quite well behaved. Captain, like any unneutered male, is interested in spritzing his scent, but the Riverview is delighted to report that he is content to spritz OUTSIDE only!! Hooray! He was not happy to be in the crate and needed encouragement to go in, but settled down fairly nicely for a first time. I sat next to him an he spent about 45 minutes in it. Now he is laying next to me as I type this in the family room. We are already in love with this big lug! |
