ADOPTED 06/29/16 - Foster kid Storm

ADOPTED 06/29/16 - Foster kid Storm.  We went out and took some new pics of him today since the weather wasn't crap for once.  I think he is so handsome.  🙂  He always looks worried to me - like he's got a very serious face.  But he gets a little goofy sometimes, thank goodness.  😃

I don't know why he's missing hair on his rump, but the vet said it was not mange.  He's got a matching patch on the other side.  Maybe he licks or rubs it off somehow, but he's free-range in the dog room so he's not crated or anything.  He's got plenty of room to do things and change positions and he keeps himself busy with dumping the water bowl out and dragging it across the room on the daily.  😠😂  Toys don't last long with him and neither do chewy bones, but he enjoys having things to play with.

He seems to be able to hear a little bit, but calling his name doesn't get him to you.  Mostly you have to get him to look at you so I don't know.  His ears look much better than they did before, but we're swabbing them this week to see if they are ok or not.

Overall he is not a lot of trouble and he's a pretty good boy.  He is fine with Nappy and Faith, but if they crowd up around him he growls and jumps backwards and does this HILARIOUS head-swish to the side - like he has to shake them off.  😂  He has play-bowed to Faith before, but she is just as awkward as he is and so they haven't worked that out yet.  Nappy is too old and arthritic to want to play anymore so they don't.  I could maybe see how he and Emma do, but I don't have the time or energy for more introductions right now.

Anyway, this handsome guy is looking for his forever home.  I really like him and I feel there is a risk of him becoming a foster failure for me because of that, but I think he'd enjoy having a job or something more to do than sitting around here with my lazy dogs so I'm focusing on his needs right now.  He still has some vetting to go before he's ready, but no harm in getting his beautiful face out there in the world.  ❤
