Mick

Well, it has been forever since I last blogged. To catch things up, Karma was with me for about 2 years and I got married. My wife started having allergy issues with dander from Karma and we tried shampooing, brushing outside, air filter, but there was still an issue, so we returned Karma and brought home Daisy. Daisy is a 7-8 year old mix from the shelter. She looks to me like a yellow lab/whippet mix or something like that. We had Daisy for about a year now and our friend Matt is fostering her at our old house. This week we brought home a new foster, Mick. Mick was from a litter/mom we got in a while back and his mom and siblings were all adopted, but he hasn't been. He is painfully shy and we are trying to get him comfortable in a home surrounding, potty trained, and do some socialization. We picked him up on Sunday night and he is doing pretty well. He really enjoys sitting in our laps. He is still scared of most things and if we let him out back, we either have to pick him up and carry him in or leave the door open and walk away so that he comes wandering in after a few minutes.
