Aeon 06-088 [1]

3/3/06: Aeon arrived this evening, thanks to Tracy and Nala. He was pretty nervous with everything going on....mainly Casey treating our guest Nala not very nicely. We put him in the crate in the kitchen while we tried to see if we could get the girls to make friends...nope!! So put Casey downstairs and we spent some time in the kitchen and letting Aeon, Nala and Reba get acquainted. Then it was time for Tracy and Nala to head out. Let Casey in the kitchen with us and once she figured out he was a "puppy" and no threat, things settled in.

He is a "talker"...sounds better than a whiner when he tries to get your attention. Very sweet and loving. Kept him on a tether and let him wander and sniff. Took him out and he pottied and gave him praise with some goodies. He was ready to go back in :) Then after the girls came in and I re-bandaged Casey's foot I put Aeon in the crate. He took it pretty well....while we were busy......but then let it be known it was time to come out and join the family. Thought we were all done but he was antsy and kept heading for the garage door, so took him out, hooked him up and he pooped....I think he was saving it for me. So far so good. Will see how sleeping on the bed goes as I'm not up to listening to the crying tonight. He's been thru enough already.

I think he'll be pretty easy to train just by going in and out with the girls. If I get a fecal sample tomorrow a.m. will get to vet before they close. It's always nice to know what surprises are waiting for us. Monday Aeon goes in to get updated on his shots, get microchipped and then on Wednesday will be neutered. It will give him a couple days to recover before he will have to go to Sam & Danni's spa while we are out of town...unless someone out there is looking for a beautiful purebred 5 month old male that is sweet as they come. He needs socializing as he was kept in an apartment tied to a bed or couch. Sad to think of him and his cousin tied up and missing out on so much. Right now Mr. Aeon (pronounced eeeee-on or Ian) is hanging down here with Casey and me while they chew on hooves. He has shown no interest in food tonight or even water, which is par for the course, so won't worry as I'm sure come time for breakfast he'll be ready to eat, play and hopefully continue to potty outside. I think we will work with him to ring the big bell to go out. Will send more pics and updates as things happen. Aeon is a beautiful and handsome dog and when he fills out will be just gorgeous. If you are an approved applicant and would like to meet Mr. Aeon, email Placementragom [dot] org - if you haven't applied, please do so on line. And so "baby" makes 3....

P.S. He's trying to figure out what the cats are.....pretty funny. More in a couple of days.
