Sadie 8.4.09


Wanted to let you know that Sadie did finally relieve herself under Foster's dining room table. He said he never thought a dog pooping and peeing in the house would make him so happy! LOL She has since even gone outside! She started moving around slowly and cautiously, making her first big foray onto the couch - haha. No problem hopping up there. She has been slowly emerging from her shell and even took a little unexpected tour of the neighborhood, which about gave Foster a heart attack. She still has a very extreme fear response, and even peed when Foster approached her to retrieve her from her little adventure. She clearly exhibits a higher comfort level with women than men, but Foster is very gentle with her and he is fantastic at drawing her out and gaining her trust even though he is male. He is doing a great job with her. He says she seems much less sad and depressed than when he initially got her.
