(Since I’m a baby I need home with someone home more often. Ex: work at home, retired, at home parent, work opposite, etc.)
8/2/25-Auggie is doing great—an amazing puppy. He has mastered the stairs and getting better on a leash. He has finished his medications (still using a daily ear wash).
7/29/25-Auggie has stayed quite consistent these last few days. He is still very calm, quiet, and sweet. He has let me give him ear medication every day without any issues. He sleeps through the night on his pillow without a peep. He is totally easy and the only area where he will need much more time and training is learning to walk with a leash. He still needs a little coaxing to come through the outdoor doorway to the inside of the house, but is getting much better. He has mastered the outdoor stairs and we are working with him on the indoor staircase. He is a total charmer who will make a wonderful BFF.
7/28/25-Auggie was our B&B guest on Freedom Friday, and he was just the sweetest! Always wagging his tail, bounced after my husband running in the yard and a cuddle bug in the morning! Love him!
7/27/25-Auggie is still adjusting to being a dog in a family home, but doing so in his very charming, goofball way. He reminds me of Barkley from Sesame Street, lol (no barking yet, though). This sweet boy is having to learn to go up and down stairs for the first time, walk on uneven surfaces (in the backyard), and figure out glass doors. My guess from his behavior is that he was rarely outside of a contained pen. Right now, you can see him going back and forth between his nerves getting the best of him and his strong desire to romp and be cuddled. Our dogs are really helping him learn the ropes. They are showing him it is ok to go to the bathroom in the backyard and run around and have fun. Rather than having any issues with accidents in the house, Auggie seems to be used to waiting to go to the bathroom until he has no choice but to soil where he sleeps. It took a great deal of time yesterday and this morning, but he is learning it’s ok to relieve himself outside. It’s almost hard to believe he is still a puppy—he is so calm. His safe space is on a comfy dog pillow, where he spends most of his time when he is inside. He will go in a crate, but seems a little anxious there (probably due to all his recent transport). With time and patience, I have no doubt Auggie’s forever home will be rewarded with the most wonderful dog. It’s going to be so exciting to continue to see him come out of his shell. This boy will be ready to go home soon!
