Another Good Day

King had a great day yesterday! Played hard with Echo, hung out with his foster parents while they worked out on the treadmill in the basement, went for an evening walk, and did some obedience work. We're very impressed with his obedience training already: he knows "sit", "down", "come", and we're working on "stay". He walks beautifully on leash.

Quite honestly, he's perfectly ready for someone to adopt right now! We'll continue to put some polish on him while he's here with us, but he's not lacking in any area that would keep him from being an immediate joyous addition to their household.

Late last night, while he and Echo were outside for their last potty break before bed, a stray yellow lab approached our fence. King turned slowly and started to silently stalk the stranger. He didn't make a noise until he was right at the fence, and then gave it his best deep growl and rousing bark. The lab was unimpressed (he's a common neighborhood pest), but King did his best to tell him this was HIS yard and to back off. Echo came running up barking, but then got bored in about a nanosecond because she has doggie ADHD, lol.

King stayed at the fence with his new acquaintance and they proceeded to get to know each other a little bit, hostilities over with, but plenty of dominant posturing, silly boys.

To his great credit, King came back into the house when we called him, even though the lab was still outside. Such a good boy!

Today we may go to PetsMart to get some anti-itch spray as his feet seem to still be bothering him and it'll be fun to get him out in public. I sure hope people stop to tell us what a beautiful dog he is (as they always do with our dobies) so we can tell them "he needs a home and you could adopt him!" :)
