I know it's been a while, alot has been going on. (I moved to FL, bought a house, and recieved another dog(husky) Well we had Avalanche (husky) for 2 months. He never warmed up to us, or showed much affection. And my almost 4 year old made him nervous. Last week, Avy was eating a biscuit my son walked by and after about a foot or two away from him he fell, Avy bit my son in the face when he fell. He didn't rip his face off or anything, but he drew blood. My son wasn't doing anything he shouldn't, he treats animals fairly well, his only problem is he likes to try to pick the small ones up, and share his food. Anyways, Avy's previous owners wanted him back if it didn't work out. So my nieghbor (the previous owner's father) took avy until he could be picked up (my husband was very upset and didn't want avy near our son). So..Good thing is my nieghbor said that Avy looked like he had found his lost best friend when they came to get him. He was affectionate, and happy, excited. I was very happy to hear that.
It wasn't Avalanche's fault it wasn't my son's fault it was an accident, that if under the right circumstances, I believe, could turn tragic. Avy was never around a rambunctious clumbsy preschooler, he was never aggressive toward us or my children, or very affectionate either. So I think it worked out for the best, he got his family back, and we've been told that Avalanche seems much happier.
Well, after having two dogs, it was wierd only having one again, we had wanted to wait a bit before looking for another do, but it was too strange for me. So we went to the pound. We looked and interacted with several dogs, and found a puppy. She looks alot like Bourbon which is strange. Her name is Brandy, and she adores the children and us. She always wants to be in the same room with us, and she is very affectionate. She was found as a stray, and it doesn't seem she had a home after she was weaned. She doesn't know how to play w/ toys, and she is not potty trained. She adores Bourbon. Bourbon, tolerates her, he's not into playing really at all, and he doesn't show her any affection. So we are letting him take his time. He goes on extra special truck rides (in the cab with hubby not the back ofcoarse) which he loves. And we've been giving him extra special attention.
Long winded I know, but alot has happened. So I'm going to post pictures of our pound puppy in the photo section. thanks for listening.
