I love Turbo!

Turbo has been a great dog this week. We just love having him here. He can get all of the puppies running in a circle around the yard! But no one is faster than Mr. Long-legs. He really has taken very well to life inside and has lovely home manners: no potty accidents, no chewing, no cat chasing. He is happy to share food and toys with other animals as well as kids. He is a little skittish about new things but seems quite happy and is getting more and more comfortable. He even does pretty well on a leash! He easily walked two miles with me in the early morning hours. He pulls a bit, but not bad at all for initial attempts. What a prince!! I will try to get some new photos tomorrow.

Turbo will be at the group's Meet & Greet at the Great Hills Trail PETCO from 1-4 PM Sunday.

Welcome, Turbo!

Turbo came home with us after the group's Meet & Greet this afternoon. Talk about a lot of changes in one day!! He left his rescue ranch home and spent all day at the Meet & Greet, then he took a car ride with us to Pet Supplies Plus for shopping, photo posing, and a bath, and then came to our Foster Home, filled with all kinds of people, dogs, and even cats!

I am already in puppy-love with Turbo. He is just the sweetest dog! I loved the way he just hopped into the car with us at the Meet & Greet... what trust. He also marched right into the store with us when we got to Pet Supplies Plus. But the metal wash tub was a bit much for him-- he was clearly terrified of the bath tub (though he sat patiently enough for the scrubbing and let me clean his eyes, ears, bottom, feet, teeth, tummy, and everything else without any resistance). We did it all as quickly as possible and skipped the blow drier to minimize his bath stress. When he was all done and we unrestrained him, he literally flew over the top of the tub and landed on his feet, ready to run for it! But once we left the bath area he was back to his easy-going self.

At home he was greeted by our Foster pack and fit right in. He played with Luci and Vegas (our resident pups) and had some dinner and acclimated himself to his new digs. He even had a chance to come nose-to-nose with one of the cats, which clearly scared Turbo more than the cat! At bedtime he went into his crate and never made a peep. Good, good, good boy, Turbo!!!
