| CHANCE |
5/11/08 - Chance is now up to date on all his shots. I also needed to update his age. His birthday is
listed as 09/01/06 so that makes him 20 months instead of 15. This boy is a love. Did I mention how
handsome he is? He was propositioned on our walk yesterday. A breeder stopped to ask if the was
available to mate. Of course I said no. He has met several dogs and loves them all. He is still
questionable with cats but it may be that he has too much energy for them.
5/8/08 - Chance had his first play date with other dogs last night. He went right in, warmed up for a
minute and played played played. He got along with all the other dogs in the park. He had a ball
chasing the other dogs and jumping over them. Boy was he tired when he got home.
5/7/08 - I introduced Chance to my 2 cats yesterday through a baby gate. He was very interested in
them and just stared at them. My older cat does not have much tolerance for dogs so when she hissed
and spit at him he went right to his bed and sat watching. I think he was a little afraid. He will however
give chase if a cat is in the yard. He has a play date tonight to see how he is with dogs. He is also
learning that my house is not equipped with escape doors in the bathroom or the 2nd floor. He no
longer whines at the bathroom door or tries to take the baby gate down to come find me upstairs. Get
your applications in soon. This handsome fella will not be waiting long for a forever home.
5/6/08 - Chance is starting to let more of his personality come out. At first I didn't think he know what
a ball was now he is chasing one around the yard. He is very quick. He also likes stuffed toys and
rope toys. He thought my hammock was his toy because it is rope but quickly learned to leave it alone.
He has a tendency to jump and we are working on that but I would recommend a home with older
children because he can easily knock a smaller child down. He knocked my 3 1/2 year old nephew
down while playing, not to be fresh just to smother him with kisses. When in the house he was well
behaved with him. He loves to be with his people and would prefer a home where someone is home
most often. He barked and whined in the crate the first few times I left him but has been very good
after that. He would also like a home that will provide him with a lot of exercise. I take him for a 1 mile
walk in the am and 2 miles in the pm and he looks at me like "that's all you got". My yard is now fully
fenced in so he is free to run and boy does he. I am trying to set up a play date to see how he is with
other dogs. He has met a few on our walks and sniffs them, wags his tail and then barks when they
walk away. The cats are the next step. Hopefully tonight.
5/4/08 - Chance has arrived and what a beautiful boy he is! He is very sweet and lovable. I picked
him up in CT and he was wonderful in the car. He slept most of the way and looked out the windows
for the rest. He ate a good meal last night and slept on his dog bed all night. He met a few adults and
loved them. He has the tendency to jump when excited but we will work on that. He met a 3 1/2 year
old child but I kept him on the leash just in case he tried to jump. He did smother him with kisses. He
really likes to be with his people and whines if you are in another room. He had one accident in the
house but that may be because we are still getting used to his signals. We went for a quick walk last
night and he was very good on the leash. He noticed 2 other dogs in the park and seemed like he
wanted to play with them. If the weather clears up we will try the dog park this week. He knows 1
command so far (sit) and we are working on off. He seems like a quick learner and is food driven so I
think he will be a natural in obedience training. We're still getting to know each other so I will send an
update and pictures very soon.
