05.30.2010 - Day 2

My first night here was spent in a crate next to Robert's bed; no problems. We get up whenever Dolly, a resident vizsla decides, usually early. I go out and do my business and then return to the kitchen where I eat in a crate. After everyone has eaten and Robert has his caffeine fix, we go outside to run in the horse pasture while he tends to the horses. I had lots of fun running and made no attempt to escape (now why would I do that?). After the horses are done, we all return to the backyard and do our own things. I have not shown any interest in balls or toys yet, mainly I like to just explore all the smells or come inside and nap on the dog bed next to Robert while he reads his email or up on the crates looking out the kitchen window where I can see just about everything.

I have not yet been introduced to Rothko, the other foster dog here, but I have seen him and he looks like a nice guy. We rotate turns being separated until Robert introduces us and we show him we are OK with one another. When I am loose I can come and go at will; there is an open sliding glass door with a screen covering which allows me to go through without assistance. The door leads onto the deck overlooking the rear yard and there are steps down to the yard. It is a big yard and there is lots of room to run and explore.

I spend my day playing and napping. Dinnertime is pretty much like breakfast. We all in in crates and then we go outside to help with the horses. Then it is back into the rear yard or house. Sometimes we watch a movie before we go to bed. I could get used to a life like this with someone who loved having me around...
