Joey is available for adoption ~ Can you say suave?

Wow, what a great weekend!

It is amazing what a little sun and a couple of dogs can do to liven up a neighborhood. We bought our first home in September of last year. Snow came quickly and stayed too long. As a result we didn’t do much socializing in the neighborhood.

So this past weekend was a great time to re-introduce ourselves and our animals. Not all of our neighbors know we foster, so we really wanted to introduce people to Joey.

We are in the process of putting up a fence but in the meantime we have a complicated tie out system that allows both dogs to hang outside in the yard at the same time. They loved the warm weather, and put up a big fuss when it was time to come inside. A few neighbors commented on how well behaved they were and noted the lack of barking even though there isn’t a fence. Of course, I was pleased as pie to know that our neighbors notice and appreciate our dogs’ behavior.

I think it is natural to have some anxiety about how your neighbors respond to your dogs, given the whole vicious pit-bull mystique (wink, wink). It was a relief to know my anxiety was unwarranted.

I did find out, however, that my big black cat, Gill, has been traipsing around the neighborhood taunting the indoor kitties. And he peed in my neighbors garage!

Needless to say Gill has found himself confined to a smaller area for the time being. Here I was worried about how the neighbors would feel about my pit-bull foster and it was my cat that has been causing problems!
