Roscoe 13-072 [1]

March 10, 2013

I would like everyone to welcome Roscoe 13-072 to the Ragom family. We don't know much about Roscoe, he came from a good Samaritan who tried to find his family but could not.

Roscoe a golden mix, is in good health and was well taken care of except for his teeth. There are no major issues he is just losing some, we are using the dental treats we get from the vet for our dog and it is helping some but the vet said a couple will fall out soon.

The vet believes Roscoe is about 7 and gave him a new birthday of of March 8th. Roscoe is a sweet heart and not hard to care for. He has free roam of the house and will only come up on the furniture if invited. He is just so happy for attention, he will head bump you when he wants some attention, he likes belly rubs.

I believe he thinks he has never been fed and never will again because of the amount of excitement when we tell him it is time to eat. The entire time he is eating his tail and butt are wiggling all around and the tail is thumping off the cabinets or dishwasher, it is so cute to watch. He also thinks going outside is a great thing and we are learning some manners about not pushing the other dog out of the way to get out the door.

Here are some things we have learned about Roscoe.

• He is fine with cats, pretty much ignores our 2. Our kitten even grabbed his nose the other day and he didn't do anything.
• He gets along with other dogs and has no food guarding issues.
• He is house broken and has had no accidents.
• He has free roam of the house, when we are home and away.
• He knows some basic commands, sit and stay. He also will walk behind me on the stairs if I am going first. He will not try to go around me.
• He will bond with you quickly, I met him first and he took a while to bond with my husband since he works overnights and Roscoe didn't see him much his first few days here.

Roscoe has the cutest ears. They are big dumbo type ears on him although anytime I try to get a picture of him holding them out he puts them back against his head.

He is going to be a great dog for some family!
