Well, day 2 and Samson made it through day without peeing/pooping in house. π
He's very sweet. Barks rather randomly. Made friends with neighborhood dogs. Is not really fond of crate but went in voluntarily 2 times (we try to coax but will not force him in).
Everyone is looking at me and saying I should adopt. I think I prefer being a foster, but heart is definitely fond of this silly dig.
Super shot, the similar tones of gold and blue and the smiles are amazing!!! And a huge fav!! I have an acquaintance who has fostered a number of dogs, and everyone always asks him how he can give them up once he has made a personal connection with them, for him it is about helping as many dogs as he can...to keep Samson or let him go is a very personal thing, just know what ever you choose to do is an amazing gift to this pup!
What a fabulous image! Full of fun for both of them! So pleased he is settling in with you! Well done to you and Samson re the peeing /pooing! Itβs not easy I know but firm training will give you great results! Training with reward works best I always found with my boys and of course lots of praise! Good luck - you are going to have such fun with this boy!
@ukandie1 thank you! Our previous dog, who I loved and she lived 12 very full years, was a real handful. I'm not ready to be that exhausted again, and I've enjoyed having time that is not tied to caring for others. So this is a foster situation because of so many dogs being abandoned during this time in North Georgia. I like it because I can help, maybe train the pup for the adopting family, and keep my children happy while they are home. I do love Samson, and he is a happy pup. He's a short term foster unless the Coronavirus prevents his next move. We are prepared to keep him for months. :)
