Great news!

Today Samish and I went on an adventure to do a couple of home visits of people who had applied to adopt New Rattitude dogs.  One of those apps was for Samish so it was pretty exciting.

The bad news is Samish was a little terror on the visit.  He attempted to lift his leg in the house (luckily I had a belly band on him.) Then when we went outside he DID lift his leg on the barbecue cover on the patio. 

Back inside he met the kitty who was not at all thrilled with him. Samish, freaked by this hissing alien being, immediately thought "game on!" and was screeching at the top of his lungs and attempting to charge the cat.

Oh, and did I mention that he puked in their dining room two times because he was so worked up?

In spite of this all, miracle of miracles, they were still in love with the little guy and willing to work on the integration with kitty and to commit to a week of belly bands while Samish settles in. That's about how long it took at our house.

So great news! Samish is officially adopted and will be heading to his new home on Sunday.  A big thanks to trainer Blair Meek who offered to help Samish's new family get a plan in place for slow integration of the two reluctant furry siblings.

After we finished both of the home visits Samish and I stopped by my work to pick something up and Sam said hello to Belle the chubby lab.  Belle said "hi. Got any treats?!"  In this picture it looks like Samish is barking at her but he is just gazing up and Belle's person hoping to get picked up.
