He really is and a HUGE boy at that. He is even taller then Butch who weighs 81 lbs. I don't think Sid will ever weigh that much cause even though he his tall he is not as big boned at Butch.

I took my 3 for a walk earlier and left Sid here by himself in his crate. I waited out of sight and no noise, no pacing in the cage. He did good with that!

Thanks Hanna! So far so good but it hasn't even been 24 hrs yet. Only one accident and I caught him in the act and he stopped asap and out the back door we went. It was actually my little iggie girls fault cause she peed first She is sooo dang impatient. She usually goes outside by herself cause she is so tiny and afraid of getting stepped on. When the princess want's something she DOES NOT WAIT! grrrrr.

Skye and I took my two boys, Harley and Butch along with Sid to Care-a-Lot, and two Petsmarts today. We spent an hour in each store giving Sid lots of exposure to people, dogs or all ages, sizes, and breeds and he did GREYT!!!! He pulled a bit getting from the truck to the store doors but that was all. For the most part he was pretty calm in the store. He didn't like being too far away from the other two so I purposely would take him down seperate isles and we would sort of meet in the middle of the next. He now jumps in the back of the Tahoe With 2 dogs here that weigh over 80 lbs. that is a huge relief! I am still lifting Harley and Butch's butts into the Tahoe
I still can't believe how much progress we have made in just 6 days. Skye is sitting on the floor pinning together to materials making the adoption jacket. She has been such a help She is the daughter we never had Because of Skye and all her help we will be able to take Sid to the Petsmarts everyday, 2 locations this week. I am so hoping someone will fall in love with him and want to adopt him. He is such a good boy. He is so quiet and so calm in the house and that has got to be a HUGE PLUS! He so deserves a forever home

He just had his bath and not too happy with me cause it was too chilly out so we had to get in the tub

Thanks for asking. Sid is doing really good. He makes more progress every day he is in a home enviroment. He showed a first reaction to squirrels running across the street on our walk today. I only had to shout LEAVE IT! 3 times and he did great! Of course his prey drive was up for the rest of the walk. I love to see thier ears perked up.

Well the month is coming to an end and we will be driving Sid back to GAA on Sunday I just hope he doesn't get confused or depressed. I feel bad doing this but I said in the beginning to myself and my family that I would only foster him for 30 days and if he was not adopted by then he had to go back.
A few people are really trying to make me feel guilty but I just can't let that get to me. Don't get me wrong please. Sid is going to make someone a wonderful companion but I really feel he should be in a home with a bit less activity. I only want what is best for him. And there are other dogs I has already made inquiries about long before I decided to foster Sid. I am a bit upset about this but I will just keep it to myself.

I still might get the chance to adopt my Bella's litter mate, Artie if we can get him from California to Kansas and then to NJ. I want the opportunity to at least let him meet my greys and see if they all get along. There is also another grey out there in Kansas I had inquired about 2 months ago and I was told he was on hold for another group. We they never took him so he is still available and I asked Lisa if he could be added to her haul coming on Nov. 3rd. Again I want the opportunity for my pups to meet him and see if they click.
Time to figure out something for dinner.
