Runs with dogs

We have a visitor here at casa ala RWD - T'Bo. He is a bounceback from a chaotic home. We are watching him while his foster person is on vacation. The backstory is he attacked his owner. *shrugs* I always take those type of stories with a large grain of salt. Not to say that T'Bo doesn't have his issues. He has growled and raised his lip to the person fostering him. He has snapped, made contact but didn't break the skin of her husband. T is on 'the nothing is free' doggy bootcamp plan :-) There is a long list of what he cannot do. No furniture priviledges. Last to be fed. Last for treats. Last in and out the door. Some of his issues seem to center around his space and not liking to be told to move. He is regularly displaced and moved from bed to bed. He is also on my own little personal doggy rehab plan - exhaust the hell out of them and then they are too tired to misbehave, hence the title 'Runs with dogs' :-)

He seems to be taking all this in stride and is a happy go lucky, sweet, energetic boy, very willing to take direction. I would adopt him in a heartbeat, if I could. Unfortunately, because he is now 'labeled' a biter, the liability issues are such it is uncertain if he will ever be adopted out or will just live as a permanent foster :-( I think he should go live at Casa ala 4crazygreys. They love 'biters' over there :- )

T raced until he was 5 and has been off the track for 2 years. His musclature is almost that of a track dog. The boy is ripped to shreds :-) His foster home has been running with him, and got him up to a mile. I have done almost 3 with him, taking a walking break about half way through. He did absolutely fine, only starting to lag during the last half mile. It was spectacularly easy running with both him and Cosmo. We will be heading out again this morning to hit that pavement.
