Home for The Holidays

Ok--so not a permanent home, but CLG's Flo came into foster with me and my pack yesterday. She's a sweet, shy red fawn girl (yes, I seem to be especially prone to fostering reds/fawn hounds).

Even though she's a little shy, she's game to try new things--albeit slowly and hesitantly, but still game nonetheless. She's started to gain some confidence with steps (a must at my house) and she was only mildly concerned about some of the hardwood flooring in some of the rooms.

She's done great with Rio, my smallish lab mix. Of course, she's been great with my hounds. She's doing ok with my cat, but if he runs, she wants to give chase. She takes corrections well though. She hasn't quite figured out Reggie, my parrot yet. he makes a noise or talks and she starts looking around trying to figure out where the noise or talking came from.

First nights are usually a little rough. She was crated in my bedroom and had periods of sleep and crying. She'll settle more as each day goes by.

Yesterday and this morning she was leash walked in the backyard. Later in the day, she got a trial run in my fenced backyard off lead and did great. She was exuberant at one point when she realized that she didn't have a leash attached to her. She's been good about coming and or following my dogs back into the house.

She's very curious about everything. Last evening she even watched some TV. She's quite a sweet girl. I have no doubt it won't be long before she casts her spell on some unsuspecting potential adopter.
