DALE

Dale's foster has this ths to day:Brought cute puppy Dale home to foster on Sunday. Sooo much growth has happened in just 2 days. He got oriented to my yards, got a bath, & met my cats. I've sectioned off my cottage with adjustable gates that allow my cats to come & go without having to interact with him, but it's definitely a process. At 4 months old, he has a very good `sit.` Big thanks to volunteers working with him in the quiet play room at the animal shelter. He's learning `lay down` & he walks really well on the leash (from here to there), but he had clearly never walked up a step before. He didn't know what to do at first. So funny. He's learning how to get into the crate. I've used high value cooked chicken bits to lure him in & used other treats & more, but we definitely need to work on it. He does better in the palacial cage I have on my deck.Been sleeping on the floor with him on my gymnastic mat (for now). I've been waking myself up every 3 hours to make sure he gets out for his `business,` so we have not had any `accidents` in the house. Potty training is going GREAT.
