Dog Days

Dog Days at Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue

Adoption Update -- Finn (was Holden)

He's doing really well!!  You are right - confidence has increased daily. 

I am amazed how easily the cats accepted him - but then he's so unassuming, and I have very mellow cats, so maybe that's not such a surprise. 

Cate's accepting him too - kind of funny, she's not used to anyone playing the way she does and, on one hand, you can see she enjoys it - but, on the other, you can see her get annoyed when he's "got her number."  It's pretty funny to see the surprise on her face when that happens.  Clearly she likes him. When I brought him back from his first vet check up on Friday, she ran over to greet him as we entered the house, tail a-waggin', like he'd been gone forever.  There have only been a couple of instances where she seemed to say, "Kid, you're getting on my nerves!!" but he responded very well to her "corrections." 

He settles down beautifully in the house, he responds to his new name, he's doing really well on leash, and his recall is getting better daily.   No accidents in the house.  He starts "Charm School" this weekend, and I think he'll really enjoy it. I'm looking forward to bringing him back to Yappy Hour showing a little more of a confident swagger!!

We are quite smitten with him, in case you can't tell.
:-D
