Sherman's new adventures

 Sherman continues to be such a good dog.  We really can't believe how much he has changed in just two weeks.  He has taken a trip to central Wisconsin to visit my parents where he was a perfect house guest and traveled well, been out and about in the neighborhood meeting new friends, played with Jasmine, had his first bath with us, and even went to a chicken dinner and band concert.  Wow - that almost makes me tired.  Here are some pictures from the adventures.

New squeaker toy from his foster Grandma - Squeaking is good.

Treat and chew time!

Flying Fur

Catch me if you can!

Bath Time :(

He Plays!

Oh where is my camera when I need it?

Sherman and Jasmine had there first real play session.  It all started with Sherman having his first case of zoomies - chasing himself around the backyard.  Well - Jasmine had to join in in the fun and pretty soon they were exchanging play chases complete with play bows and starts and stops.  It is so amazing and so fun to see.  Now they are both resting peacefully with tongues out.  Yahoo!

The more time we spend with Sherman, the more good things there are to say.  I know, I’ve said this before but he is such a good boy.  He is just an open book waiting to see what his next chapter will bring.  He has so many good manners – we haven’t had any problem feeding Sherman and his doggie foster sister  together or giving them both treats (no resource guarding); 

Did you call me?

he meets other dogs quietly and politely;
he doesn’t jump up on people or furniture; 
no counter surfing, although he is interested in what is going on in the kitchen; 
he doesn’t mark; 
goes potty outside; 
comes running with tail wagging when you call him;
will sit for a treat; waits by the door to get in and out; walks well on a leash – and – 
 of course, he is also adorable.  

A kiss for Jasmine

He will now, meet your gaze and give a few kisses – he even had some for Jasmine.  

He has been out meeting the neighbors and doing great. 

Did I mention adorable?

 I know this may sound like I’m a gushing foster mom - but he deserves to be gushed about.  We are so lucky to be able to help him on his journey.

Sherman has a silly side

This afternoon when I got home from work, I was treated to the first belly rub Sherman has offered up!  Yeah!
We then went out for a short walk around the block with his foster sister Jasmine, who loves to roll in the grass.  Jasmine found a fresh lawn and started doing her roll, and pretty soon there was Sherman right next to her on the neighbors lawn.  He did more of a roll and army crawl but it was sure a funny sight to see and some of his first playfulness coming out.  I will have to learn to bring along the camera.

First Weekend

Sherman is such a good boy!  We can see him coming out of shell more and more each day. 
Here are some pictures from his first weekend with us.

Enjoying a nap after breakfast and a walk.  Whew - that was a lot for his first morning.

Kong time.

Spending Time in the yard.

Isn't he beautiful!
