Sebastian 07-629 [1]

Sebastian came into RAGOM skinny, naked and shaved.  Dogs do not live in the past, so this foster mom, will endeavor to do the same.  What Sebastian lacked in the past, will be supplied threefold.  He is a 10 yr old, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, Golden Retriever. 
 
Forgetting his past, I will keep you posted from today forward.  He seemed to enjoy being bathed, ignored nail trimming, and unconcerned having matted fur cut from him 'private parts'.  While at Petco, a little girl about 3 yrs old came up to him and planted a big kiss on his nose!  As I was holding a 38 lb bag of dog food, this meeting was out of my control.  As she left, Sabastian wanted to follow her.  He passed that test!
 
Coming into a home with 2 resident Goldens could have been intimidating.  However, the blended family blended immediately.  Ms Alpha resident even cleaned his ears.  He will visit the vet next week for teeth cleaning, an exam and heartworm test.
 
Sebastian settled into the routine around here.  He and my residents have run of the house during the day.  He has proven to be house trained and enjoys napping on his new bed.  Did I mention that Sebastian is HUGE?  Ok, this will help.  He is 85 lbs and has room for 20 more pounds! 
 
Although I walk him on leash, he doesn't need one.  He keeps his head touching me every step we take.  That will feel good when it gets really cold!  There will be pictures coming so that everyone can see how this precious, gentle giant is growing.  The hair and weight can't come soon enough.
