A short but very important update.  Farrah went to dog class on Saturday, yesterday. She is not food aggressive and rarely takes a treat as a reward. HOWEVER, yesterday, she took treats multiple times from a MAN. WOOHOO, way to go, Farrah and Susan!

I know I used this on Dog Blessed; it's the only photo I got in the few days Farrah was home.  I'd say she is relaxed. Farrah was home for a few days when Susan was out of town.  Oh, it was nice to re-meet this so sweet dog, even as she goosed my butt again to remind me to attend to her :). She fit in again with the pack, remembered the crate she likes (she prefers an airline crate over a wire

I have not much to report from Farrah.  She is doing very well in her foster home, going on walks with her foster mom Susan and her foster siblings Lucky and Candy.  Farrah LOVES the water, doesn't mind thunderstorms, wags her tail and is so happy in a smaller dog household - even with a cat!  Oh, she needs her own home.  Susan can foster as long as she is comfortable or until a dog with a

Farrah is doing so good, Bobbie!  Of course I have been taking Candy and Lucky too on our walks because they all have a good time, but she is just more and more relaxed all the time.  What a pleasure to have around!  No barking, chewing, messing the house, always pleasant!  One thig we are still working is her letting me hug her and put my face close.  She gets a little nervous when I get close

"Wasn't Farrah great at class, letting that little girl pet her?  I was so happy!" ~ Susan, Farrah's foster mom.  Farrah was at dog class this evening, relaxed, wanting to hang with Reagan.  Ruby's girl came over to her.  At her approach, Farrah rolled over, asking for a belly rub, which young girl (whose name I should know!) happily obliged :).   Farrah (front) relaxing with friends at dog

August 16, 2011 - second note: Susan didn't have a camera.  I don't use mine much at all anymore as I use the one with my iPhone/Pod. I took it to her yesterday evening with extra batteries and had a nice visit.  Susan said Farrah has been more skittish in the last few days; we are not sure why but I wonder if it is just because she is being pushed quite a bit more than she was here at

August 11, 2011 - first note: Farrah missed dog class on Tuesday due to work conflicts but she and Susan walked around her urban neighbor for half an hour.  To me, this was as good as class; Farrah, she is has been with dogs most of her life, is now out with a person meeting other people, dealing with strange sounds and closer homes.  YESH. I quote another communique: "Farah is more relaxed
