Well, Gordon is fast becoming a Gordy...he's loved very much by foster mum and dad and we're going to hate when he leaves
 We have two very good candidates for a forever home but it's still early to say anymore...we'll keep you posted. We had a session with the dogs from the K9 unit on Tuesday. Two males (narcotic dogs) and 2 females (search and rescue). We did a variety of excercises still on leash but the instruction was to let the dog be a dog. I was corrected many times (not Gordon). I tend to use my voice a lot to distract him from situations that I think will be dangerous and at the same time I'm not letting him be a dog. It was a short, fast paced session with a couple police guys learning to handle the dogs and me with Gordon. He was a good boy but he's now rather ignoring the other dogs. The instructor would like to see him exploring more the other dogs. He let himself be sniffed by the girls and the boys, not totally relaxed but no sign of aggression. The instructor was happy with him (maybe not with me). So this is the weekly update. Keep your fingers crossed for

GREAT work with Gordon/Gordy
 ! I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again), you and Paul are simply amazing people and have a fantastic support staff.  I just KNOW Gordon will be a huge success story and with the right family become a wonderful part of the family. Thanks for the update and keep us posted! |

 There is no doubt his best chance at a good life was finding you "all" to help him realize what it means to be a special boy and how life can be fun and not frightening! Three cheers for Alex, Paul and friends.. hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray, hip hip HURRAY....  Thanks for sharing This post has been edited by MSBIGFULTON: Jan 31 2010, 06:00 PM |
