Trouble On A Tuesday - Jail

Heading home

Our sentence this time was 22 days, with no early release for our super behaviour. As some of you may recall on previous visits, our behaviour has been less than exemplary. We have not been able to play with other dogs due to issues with humping and fence fighting (we maintain all seemingly negative behaviour was in response to other dogs behaviours, it was self-defence only . . . ). However, at pick up, the Lady and Man were informed that we were so good this time, next time, we would likely have the opportunity to leave our solitary confinement and play with others.

They also reported that Phod was a good eater this time. In the past, he has lost weight in the kennel and Lee has made herself sick eating his food. During these previous sentences, Precious has not accompanied Phod (it got to go this time), nor has our kongs and the huge jar peanut butter. It was reported that this time Phod did have a fear response to strangers. At our kennel all the dog parents/owners get to go to the back to leave and get their pups. They said everyone thought Phod was beautiful (no mention of Lee, they must all need to clean their glasses). They would approach him in the cage where he would be barking. He would sniff their hands, then run outside and act scared. Phod says he had PTSD flashbacks to when he was in the shelter before foster care and before Lady and Man. He was afraid that these strangers were going to take him home. He wanted to like the people but didn't want to be taken.

At any rate, it was our best kennel report ever and Lady was not embarrassed. (We will need to try harder next time to see if we can get expelled). We are thrilled to be home, and are sort of talking to our peeps.
