We've been thinking of adding a dog to our family for the last 2 years, but just kept putting it off until November 14th 2008. Hmm children's day, I wonder what significance that has. We headed over to the Wisconsin Humane Society to just take a look. We spent time with 3 dogs, of which one really made us feel special. He was a slightly built australian shepard, 1 year old white and black hair with an amazing snow white chest. He really loved us, kept prancing around and licking our hands. So we bought some things for him and paid and got him home. The ride back home was confusing for Ozzie. I could tell he was tense, wasn't sure where he was heading to. He had been abandoned by his past owner so we really had no clue about his past. At home, he ran and sniffed around the whole house. We gave him his dinner and some water which he finished pretty quickly. We played some ball with him. He is an amazing retriever but very insecure, kept going after the ball but wouldn't give it up. Seemed to consider it his own and kept licking the ball all the time.
At night we gave him a blanket and put him in the den. We shut the door and went to bed. He started whining, which we initially tried to ignore. The whining slowly turned into barking. We gave in and opened the door. We then proceeded to try and make him sleep in the corridoor. However that did not work either. Finally he slept on the bedroom floor on the blue blanket that was to become his :-)
