So I just want to say that I am SO very proud of Win today. He handled that long car ride like a pro and when we got to the drop-off location he went up and sniffed a few people. He ducked away when they reached out to pet him, but I think it's definite progress that he approached anyone on his own. 😃
Not only that, but he tried to get on the transport van with only a little bit of coaxing. There were a couple of really tall stairs and he had some trouble, but it wasn't for lack of effort. I'm pretty sure he's got bad hips. The lady who was driving gave him a boost and he went right into the crate they had ready for him. He did great!
I told her to leave his long lead on him and she did. I don't really think anyone is going to have problems with him. I just told her not to reach into his crate and things should be ok. Also, I'm really loving the fact that it was a transport VAN and not a huge semi packed with wailing, scared dogs. I was worried that he was going to be extremely stressed out by the whole process, but so far, so good. 😃
And yes - even though I was ready for him to move on I cried. I can't not. That's just how it is. And I'm gonna be worried about him until he arrives safely, so Christopher, please let me know when your precious cargo arrives!
I hope you love this boy! I just know he's gonna blossom with some TLC. ❤
