Day 1- 11-5-2011

Dogs are adapting pretty well. They've learned that when they go back in their kennel it's not the end of the world. They will be able to come back out soon. They all seem to be potty trained. We haven't had any accidents in their kennels. Unfortunately, since they had fleas so bad and haven't had a bath....possibly ever....they've had to stay out in the garage. We have a heater out there for them and straw in their kennels. They've been doing fine with that.  They had flea medication put on the first night, so those should be done. Now we just have to wait for their surgery incisions to heal so they can get a back and come inside.

Tiger was introduced to Daisy and Delilah today. They did very well. Seem to be able to coexist without any issues. Although they came from the same owners, they were kept in different locations so we were unsure of  how they would act around each other at first. No problems though.

Tiger was then introduced to Princess, our brindle pit bull. They got along great! They didn't get to hand out with each other for very long. I know they would like to play, but that has to wait until they are done healing from surgery as well. About 1 more week :)

Macy got introduced to Daisy & Delilah (aka Thunder & Lightning). Delilah was great, she didn't mind her at all. However, Daisy was a little protective and snarled a bit at Macy. Again, the meeting didn't last long. We don't want to overwhelm them. We'll try again in a day or two.

Here are some videos:

Tiger. I did just wake up when I took this, so please don't judge :)

Daisy must be a Pointer Pit Bull :)

Things I've noticed about their personalities thus far:

Tiger: Very sweet, very calm. Favorite activity: chasing his tail when he's in the kennel or dog house :)
His whole kennel shakes back and forth because he's running in circles as fast as he can to catch it. He's also potty trained. And will go in his kennel on command.

Daisy (pink collar): Very sweet, very outgoing and curious. Very interested in the rabbits :) She's getting better about going in her kennel. You have to lead her to it, but then she walks in on her own and waits for her treat. She doesn't seem that amused about the other dogs, but we're working on it.

Delilah (black collar): Very sweet and seems to be the leader when it comes to her sister even though she's deaf. She likes to play ball, is potty trained and also getting better about going back into her kennel. You still have to work at it with her, but we'll get there. She loves to play ball and is learning how to fetch very well! She doesn't stray to far from me. She's doing okay with the other dogs, didn't show any aggression.

It all takes time. After we get them used to the dogs which may take a week or two, next is the cats. Keep your paws crossed!!! :)
