Tomorrow's Incoming

Ah, the joys of dog travel. You think you're getting one dog, for a plane or bus run to be delayed, or somebody else sent, or the days changed. They kind of come when they come.

After a weird sequence of events Josh is arriving tomorrow. He came down on the weekend, to an adoptive home with a previous adoptive family from the same rescue who had just lost their golden. Unfortunately, the combination of Josh's energy level, and the very recent loss of their last dog, was too much for the adoptive family. They realized within two days they didn't have the inner strength yet to have a new dog. Josh was walking over them. They need time to grieve. So, Josh will come here, where he will learn if he needs to, what it means to be calm inside, what it means to walk respectably on a leash, and also, to have lots of fun. I doubt very much he will be a problem at all. Most of the time these dogs fresh off 'the plane' have a hard time adjusting for the first few days, and can be kind of wild seeming because they haven't learnt really good indoor manners.

Not to worry my handsome golden retriever friend, we'll fix you up in no time, and I'm sure you will find an awesome home on the island that wants to go for lots of swims and beach time with you.

Here's Josh's ad:

 If you know anyone who might be interested, pass it on. Ideally I find him someone through the grapevine before I get a whole whack of applications. My guess is he won't last a week -unless he really needs the dedicated time with me to work on something.

My next TG foster(s) over the weekend as well. Not sure if it'll be one or two yet. Time will tell :)
