Adoption Update

Goldie might have found a permanent home.   It turns out that the first application for Goldie is from a high school friend's mom, who lives in Los Feliz.  What a small world!   She has one basset hound named Byrdie and is looking for a doggy pal for her.  Goldie visited the house this past Monday and really loved the place.  He and Byrdie played a little bit but mostly Goldie explored the gigantic backyard and sniffed around the house.  It is a perfect match because Goldie is very submissive and is happy to let Byrdie be the "top dog".  At one point they galloped around the living room about three times and then played tug-of-war for a short while. 

Next Friday (the 18th) Goldie is going for a trial stay at his new home.  This is a period before we finalize the adoption to make sure that Goldie does well in his new home.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed because this would be a dream adoption.  Goldie would be in very caring hands if he moves to Los Feliz.  Meanwhile, he had his first dog park experience this week and he was so well behaved.  He played with dozens of different size and breed dogs and never once got into trouble.  If a dog snaps at him, he will just walk away and does not retaliate.  I've always preferred submissive dogs because they can be easier to train and deal with in social settings.

Here a picture of Goldie and Byrdie:

Wonderful! I'm crossing my fingers for Goldie, too. Byrdie the basset looks like she would be a good friend. :o)
