The charmer

Buck and I did a morning meet and greet at the Fluvanna dog park with his prospective new home, meeting the current resident dog on neutral ground. The dogs were fine. There were a number of dogs there so they probably didn't know who they were supposed to be meeting, but there were no problems with any of them.

Buck was at least as interested in the people as the other dogs. It reminded me of when I used to take Emmylou up there to meet people. He went around and introduced himself and if he found a willing subject, he just sat down next to them for as much petting and attention as he could suck out of them. He worked the crowd.

My own dogs ganged up on him in the dog yard yesterday so he was limping a bit and he still is, although much less today, only noticeable when he runs. He was great in the crate in the office last night with Trooper and Tasha.

Our schedules are such that we can't get together until tomorrow late afternoon for an in-home meeting with the resident dog, cat, and husband, but this morning was another step in the right direction.

Tasha is doing well this morning, eating normally--she goggled down her pills in a small scoop of raw food and then finished up all the dry as well. She seems perky, not in pain.
