Skeeter is doing so much better. We took him for a walk around Mill Lake the other day and he was really good. When he saw other dogs he only wanted to play with them. After a while he started to just keep walking and didnt feel the need to sniff them all. Once he noticed the ducks in the Lake he decided that he would sniff them too! Every chance he had, he would try to get to the edge of the Lake. He so wanted to get to those ducks. We got to the beach clearing and let him play. He would step in the water and step out, then trying again. It was actually very funny to watch him. I think he wanted to take one home.
This past week we have seen a great improvement in him. He has really come out of his shell. He is a very happy dog. Loves the walks and the car rides. Always happy to meet new dogs and people too. He doesnt seem to bother with the cats as much anymore. He understands that they dont want to play with him. Bunny is still a bit scared and hides in her tree a lot. She does come out and run around once he is in his kennel for the night and when he is sleeping cuddled up to me. Both the cats have been drinking out of Skeeter’s bowl instead of the one for them. So I think they are willing to let him stay for now.
We have had a few pee accidents this week, but it was our fault for not taking him out sooner. He can last all night. During the day he can hold out for about 4 hours. We make sure he goes out every 3 hours, just to be safe. He is happy to just lie on the bed with me in the evening and watch TV. We took him to meet my brother’s dog Teddy. He did pretty good. Teddy is a nutball and runs the house so I had Skeeter on his leash inside and made sure he didnt run wild. I dont think he needs to run around like it’s the indy 500 inside any house.(sorry bro, your dog is nuts!..lol)
His eyes have cleared up a lot, but he is still scratching and he sneezes a lot too. What else? oh, his hair is growing back and he is looking cuter everyday. Bath time is still very scary. Rawhides are the bomb! He loves to eat carrots and lettuce. Maybe he is part rabbit?
Hi there.
My husband and I have been taken by little man Skeeter and are very interested in him. I have emailed the organization themselves, but then noticed that you mentioned we could also inquire here on your blog. We think he would be the perfect addition to our family.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Elizabeth and Adrian
If you have sent a message to Dhana Metta rescue then you are on the right path! They are the ones that will be talking with you. All I am doing is fostering Skeeter and can tell you everything about him. You wil need to fill out the paper work and have a home visit and then see how well you fit with Skeeter.
He really is a very special little guy
