Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon

Adopted October 13, 2009

At the moment we're so busy we've not had a moment hardly even to breath. Do you know about Petey #1888? He's a shy/frightened boy who is very sweet and lovable - what Golden isn't? Darlene thought he would like living at our house because he and Jamie were good buddies while being fostered with her. It's been fascinating watching him grow more confident each day. He's still not totally sure that Jonathan isn't the "dog eating giant", but he's now comfortable enough around him to play with Jamie which is a tremendous milestone.

We took him to foster for 2 weeks in Oct. knowing we had a road trip to Calif. planned for the first of Nov. Darlene's advice was to take him with us even though he would be experiencing many new places and people. She suggested we start him on doggy Prozac to make the trip easier. We were tempted to take it a couple times, not because of him but because of Crazy Jamie. However, we didn't. And, during the trip, because he was doing so well, we decreased his dose and gave the rest to Jamie which made the trip much easier. And so, the story is that Petey did exceptionally well, even with all the strange people and places and in the process has become a loved member of our family.
