<DIV>Well, I must still be clueless because I volunteered to pull a stray basset from the pound yesterday. It's just a short term foster until they can get him settled and vetted ... probably just a couple of days. I figure that can be my contribution to rescue ... we have a 2 dog legal max where I live but Golden Gate Basset rescue pointed out I can legally have dogs "visit" as long as they don't stay longer than a few weeks. I have lots of experience pulling dogs .... every dog I've ever had my whole life has been a shelter dog. This may be the first basset I pull for GGBR and house until they can get him/her into long term foster care, but I promise it won't be the last. See, still clueless!</DIV>

<DIV>Thor is a sweet baby, but he is intact ... so we're dealing with humpty dumpty here. Cyrus told him "you've got to be kidding bud!" So he tried humping Snoopy. Snoopy tried being polite, he tried leaving, he tried saying stop, he tried posturing, he tried body language, he tried barking at Thor .... finally he and Cyrus discovered if they bark in unison at Thor he gets the message and quits. For 30 or 40 seconds. Actually today that is stretching to half an hour at times. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thor is adorable and acts more like a puppy which I suspect he still is. He clearly has never heard the word sit before. I don't think he's ever been inside a house before either so that created some stress for him but he's settling .... using the dog door .... going potty outside with the other dogs (except for some marking). At the moment I am in the office and Thor is under my chair on my feet and Snoopy is behind me on the couch with Cyrus. Working from home .... sort of ....</DIV>
